The decay of Satellite 1965-79A took place on October 29, 1965, and was observed across Europe. The observers' descriptions of the decay are quoted and position measures are tabulated. The object was already self-luminous when first seen at a height computed as 92.6 km; a luminous trail began to form at a height of 91 km; and fragments were first seen breaking away at a height of about 82 km. The decay trajectory as indicated by the measures is investigated with the help of an ephemeris supplied by NORAD. It is concluded that the observations fix the height with an uncertainty probably not greater than 0.5 km. A rough indication of the probable impact point is given.
