If you are refering to the SL-12 r/b 2003-060F (#28199): this reportedly
decayed on May 13th and nothing decayed since.
I believe NORAD is fairly reliable with these informations, and then again
most (if not all) of the classified near earth orbit satellites for military
purposes, for which no two-line-element data sets from NASA are officially
available, are under "visual control" from a bunch of dedicated satellite
trackers worldwide
I fully agree with Alexander. Quit often, "after the fact" decay times are known
to the nearest minute (not in this case by the way, but 3 days is well outside
the uncertainty window).

PS: As a saillant detail: I am actually one of those dedicated trackers which
Alexander mentions...
