Next Perigee after the stratcom-prediction-time would be at 0233 UTC
ROSAT would be over the pacific at that time, between 0200 and 0230 it would cross China, southern Russia (between Chabarowsk and Wladiwostok), Sakhalin, and Kamchatka. So, there you could have a nice firework, at the perigee is just water, except french "Clipperton" isle.
But there are currently "non sightings" from Mexico and Ecuador, Rosat was passing the US (unlikely, that it reentered there because of no reports), the northern pacific (nearly no one is there to report, possible) and Japan (also unlikely because of reports)
1:52 UTC: ROSAT will pass southern Burma, western Thailand and China next
2:39 UTC: ROSAT is probably down now, let's start a guessing game, possible areas are: Japan, northern Pacific, western USA, Mexico, Pacific between Mexico and Peru, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, southern Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Burma, Thailand, China, eastern Russia or the Pacific. Some could be eliminitated because of no reports of a reentry. My guess is China or the Pacific.
3:01 UTC: DLR confirmed that ROSAT is down, Reentry was between 1:45 UTC and 2:15 UTC. 1:45-1:57 would be the Indian Ocean, 1:57-1:58 Burma and Thailand, 1:58-2:07 China, 2:07-2:15 Russia, Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea. Probably STRATCOM's prediction of 02:04 was right, then ROSAT would have struck ~100 km south of Chongqing (30 million inhabitants) or ~30 km north of Zunyi (7 million inhabitants; known for the Zunyi Conference)
