    Could this have been  26990 01 53D , the sl-12 rocket from the glosnass launch
    Well according the penultimate elset  26990 was in range of Poole around
    22:30. Here is Quicksat output for Poole, with sun illumination ignored
    
     50.700   2.000  200.   Poole                    2000 10.0 10 F T T F T

    I think it must have been another piece of the launch, as the payload
    has catalog number 26987 , so there are 2 numbers potentially allocated.
