Thank you, I was at those times out on the fields (Germany) trying to see something, but no, nothing. Was still outside the dense atmosphere I suppose. That means it indeed must have progressed until the Indian Ocean at least and then the West coast of Australia. Maybe some pilots have observed it?

The COIW (point of free terminal fall) at time 6:37 UTC and the track line before until Pakistan, and after until New Zealand are the relevant track portions, where you might have seen a shooting star.
Observe the line through COIW point and there the time stamps for the positions along the time.

I have little hope, but if a crew has seen it, than the traffic towards Australia, Singapore etc. at a time 6:20 UTC (India Subcontinent) until 6:45 (Perth to Adeleide/Melbourne traffic
