Decaying Satellites

Hello folks, this is my first post and hopefully others will join. First of all my area of interest is more in line with satellites that are soon due to re-enter the atmosphere. This is because I have tried thousands of times it seems to catch that rare chance of actually seeing one burn up. The best I and my brother have done is see one pass reddish in color from heating 5-10 minutes prior to re-entry and burn up. I have seen several last or second to last orbits. My latitude is 35 deg north and I am sure many who join may live south of where I am, meaning more views on sats and debris I have no chance in seeing. Space Track no longer appears to be willing to reaccept my request for lost passwords because I guess 3 lost ones are enough for them to decide sorry. No more chances. I have concentrated my research using 2 webs sites. Heavens-above.com and n2yo.com. Each of them has properties I enjoy. Anyway I have compiled a list that I will send to anyone that wants it and I will accept anyone elses list to recompile mine. I do have some listed below my latitude that some could use. KOMPASS-2 NORAD# 29157 I believe will enter between the 28th-29th Dec ARISSAT-1 NORAD# 37772 2-3 JAN PHOBUS GRUNT # 37872 7-10 JAN (Russian failed Mars moon mission)
