[FPSPACE] Progress M-58 junk almost hits airliner?

[agzak at optonline.net]

Strange story: 10 pm New Zealand time makes it 10:00 GMT on March 27. According to 
Russian Space Agency, Progress M-58 hit the water at 23:30 GMT. Therefore at the time, 
when pilot reported the incident, the Progress did not even undock from the station, which 
was 18:11 GMT, or eight hours after the encounter. Any explanation?
