  It seems that ESA tracked the craft over Germany on its final pass, and failed to track it on its next expected pass (0732 UTC), and so it is assumed that it went down at some time before that. But there are no recordings or reports of sightings yet.

  There are currently a few YouTube livestreams with "live tracking" for whatever that's worth. I'm watching this one: https://www.youtube.com/live/MXbMHHvaiJo?si=cKZBkmKsXh-qEjzS

  Current prediction is 6:12am UTC (± 3 hours); the red splat projection is on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea.
