Suspected Piece of UARS falling near Japan

Saw this on Youtube today. A Youtube user shot a video of what looks like something burning up in the sky in Nagareyama, Chiba (千葉県流山市).





The user, thinks it may be a UFO.

Noting from the video, and other places on the Internet that link to this video, this was taken during the time frame that NASA UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite) was expected to be coming down.   According to NASA and the image below, the final track of the falling satellite was far from Japan, but judging from comments about the satellite tumbling unpredictably, it's possible a piece may have broken off at a different time.

image translation: 終点(ending point).  始点 (starting point)

According to the data from the image above, the track starts above South Africa and ends in the Indian Ocean.
