Every satID is given in three ways:
1. the International designator in format yyyy-nnnc
2. the USSTRATCOM catalog number
3. the popular name; if applicable: rocketname within square brackets []

For unidentified satellites the international designator is as has been
applied in CLASSFD.TLE of Mike McCants (MM). If an observer applied his
own satID, the pseudo internation designator is as follows:
- 2 digit luanch-year number like all satellites
- launch-of-year number = day-of-year number + 500 in which day-of-year
  is that of first reported observation
- component code: initials of observer.

Notes are marked b1) thru bn) per satellite.
All notes for one satellite are terminated by "end satID".
Notes may sometimes have gaps in the numbering.

From launch year 2007 notes have normally numbers, no longer b-numbers.
This is also true with notes for some older launches.

All timings are expressed in seconds and parts of seconds.

Timings likely or probably associated with the same rotation
are sometimes grouped within ( and ) or [ and ].

I introduced new abbreviations:
  PX: determination with aid of PPASextended.
 ueo: (explicitely reported as such by he observer) unaided eye observation
      equals
 neo: naked eye observation

      might be a possibility yielding about the same group interval times:
      (5.49 5.62 2.71 4.65)

      Details about the satellite body and extensions might help to obtain
      a better interpretation.
 b18) Based on long interval at end of series of flashes I determined
      following timings and groupings:

      (2.93 3.71 1.11 2.29 2.26 1.88 1.62 2.81)
      All individual flash times are inaccurate due to the irregularity
      of their interval times.

      The peculiarity of this observation is that in addition
      to the flash period of 3.418 seconds, a period of about 35 seconds
      has been noted as far as the magnitude of flashes are concerned.
      The magnitude was varying from +6.5 to invisible every 35 sec.

      (2f or 3f).

      This obs is a confirmation of my obs dated 07.12.03.
      In addition to the flash period of 03.414 seconds, a period of about

  b8) On 8th December 2008 I had the chance of observing 75 091B.
      Nice pass of a flashing sat with a period of  8.55 seconds.
      This period is consistent with 6 obs made on this sat in 2007
      by me and Brad Young. It is not consistent with my last obs
      made on 27 Dec 2007 reporting a period of 3.418 seconds.
      Going through my obs of  27 Dec I found that this obs was
      related to another sat having a period of 3 secons and half,
      that is 73 58B. Therefore please find herewith both observa-
      tions about 75 091B and 73 058B , and delete the wrong one
      on 27 Dec 2007 related to 75 091B showing a period of
      3.418 seconds.
      My erroneus obs on 75 091B is of course the reason of the
      upgrading of priority from 5 to 2 given to this sat.
      I apologize for the inconvenience.

  b2) KF: Tonight between 2:26 to 2:41 UTC ( Jan 27 ) SYMPHONIE 2 had 2
      different times of double bright flashes. At 2:31:52 it gave
      two bright flashes, then at 2:35:15 it did it again. I notice in
      between them, that at least one flash, was actually a bright flash,
      and a fainter flash, when I looked at the video in slow motion.
      So it was around the area of 6 h 05 min R.A +9 h 44 min Dec.
      The mag 4.1 star mu orion was nearby.
      SYMPHONIE 2 I also observed before at around 1:10 UTC as it gave
      flashes, for a few minutes around then too.
  b3) Flashes were no brighter then mag 6 I would say, the last one was
      somewhere between mag 7 to 8.

      See also note b2.
  b3) I saw LES 8 last night after nearly missing it on the 7th (local; UTC-7)
      when Ed timed four flashes. BTW, my timings for the four flashes Ed timed
      were: 128.13, 124.19, 124.12 and 124.43. That would give the same flash
      period that Ed posted in his PPAS obs. However, I have noticed that those
      last few flashes seem to have a shorter period than the preceding (see
      flash timings).
      Timings
      127.99, 127.81, 127.66, 127.84, 127.83, 128.12, 127.75, 128.18, 127.95,

      Last night I started looking considerably earlier, and saw flashes around
      3:40 UTC. I did not time all of the flashes, and only a few might have
      made it to 1X this time.

  b5) Last night Mike got LES 8 with his telescope, so I didn't
      have to try to watch with handheld binoculars for two-minute
      stretches trying to catch a flash. At a certain point, he
      noted that it was brightening. The brightest one(s) seemed
      to be at least +1.5 magnitude. Here's a PPAS report on the
      brightest flashes seen from BCRC last night (about 3:16 to
      3:26 -- about two hours earlier than only five nights ago!):
      Timings
      ------ 3:15:49.40 +3.5
      123.83 3:17:53.23 +2.0
      123.93 3:19:57.16 +2.5
      123.65 3:22:00.81 +2.0 MM ("MM" are Mike's mag. estimates.)
      123.40 3:24:04.21 +1.5
      123.52 3:26:07.73 +3.0
      +2.0 MM (I missed this one.)
      247.36 3:30:15.09 +4.5
      123.76 3:32:18.85 +3.5
      123.77 3:34:22.62 +3.5
      247.70 3:38:30.32 +4.0
      Early on Mike saw both primary and secondary with the telescope,
      and over time the primary grew fainter and the secondary
      brighter, and if memory serves the ones above were the secondary.
  b6) The flash period of LES 8 continues to decrease by about one
      second from night to night! It also flashes something like
      12-14 (?) minutes earlier each night even though it's not
      drifting.
      In my three, I used eight cycles when it was flashing at about
      the brightest magnitude.
      For a bit of puzzlement, last February-March it was observed
      with a flash period between 35 and 40 seconds, e.g., by Brad
      Young:
      http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Feb-2005/0269.html
  b7) hampered by cirrus clouds, but the brightest
      eight seemed to be from 2:39:04 to 2:55:12 --
  b8) the brightest eight from last night --
  b9) Each evening's brightest flashes a little
      farther WSW of Altair (Sept. 18 report a bit later than the
      brightest flashes) --
 b10) Last night -- September 9/10 -- I managed to see three
      flashes from it. They were not very bright:
      ------ 4:17:06.7 Sept. 10 UTC (last decimal place rounded)
      126.07 4:19:12.8
      252.56 4:23:25.3
      Two nights ago I saw it 50 minutes later. It seems
      that it's flashing quite a bit earlier from night to
      night. Obviously the Sun is going south rapidly, which
      may be making the flash track move north. The actual
      times from two nights ago were (five of them --
      obviously I was too tired to count past four when I
      sent a message the other morning):
      ------ 5:06:55.5 Sept. 8 UTC
      128.13 5:09:03.7
      124.10 5:11:07.8
      124.09 5:13:11.85
      126.56 5:15:18.4
      The second or third flash was *very* bright. I was using
      the 8x42, and I thought it could have been zero magnitude.
 b11) We waited and waited, and 3 minutes and 13.5 seconds later it
      flashedagain -- very bright.  This was not long after 10:00 PM
      local time (3:00 UTC). It very gradually got fainter over the
      next hour (?.Don't know when it started. This was very easy to
      see without magnification.
 b12) From the Ney Museum grounds I saw four or possibly five flashes
      without binoculars, beginning at 2:11:32 UTC. They were at
      intervals of about 3 minutes, 29.5 seconds, a flash period
      16 seconds slower than six nights ago.  And the episode was very
      roughly about an hour earlier than October 1.  The last flash
      I saw with my 8x binoculars was at 2:49:57.  When I first saw it,
      it was a few degrees southeast of Altair, roughly RA 20h, Dec +5.
 b13) We don't know when it started, but we watched LES 8, 1976-023A,
      08746 flashing about every 10.68 seconds last night from 3:47:52
      till 4:33:16 October 8 UTC. The brightest flashes, which are
      very fast like those of Superbird A, were at least +4.0 magn. if
      not +3.5. This episode was while it was located RA 22:00 to 22:45,
      Dec -8.5 to -10.5, approximately.

 b14) I was amazed to see possibly the deep twilite pass AND the 1:02 pass.
      1st "pass" was two very faint flashes with 10 x 50's - estimated at +2
      very low in S only 20 minutes after sunset (date = 11/30/05):
      Time (UT) Azi Alt

      I would characterize these as "dubious" - until I saw the next pass;
      see note b15

      Time (UT) Azi Alt
      1 1:02:35 210 5
      2 1:02:42 205 5
      Both flashes were about +4 or +5 and I could just see it between them
      - then it cut out fast at shadow ingress. At such low altitude, I was
      amazed to see it but I'm sure I did at the 2nd pass.

  b1) On 2004 Sept 18 while looking for Gorizont 24 accidentally
      found this object. Confirmed Sept 20.
      Currently flashing at about 2230 UT near RA 22h 30m,
      Period = 164.5s, Max between mag 5 & 7.
      Currently well placed for Europe (longitude 2deg E), and
      drifting very slowly eastwards. Might be visible from
      eastern USA.

1978-035B   10779  Intelsat-4A 6 rocket [Centaur]
  b1) Yesterday. I made an interessant observation of Intelsat 4A6 Rk
      (78035B 10779). First. I counted 50 flashes. and during this
      observation I remarked that two consecutive flashes had not the same
      aspect : one was more bright and sharp, the other one was smoother
      like a flare. It suggested that I was counting the HALF period
      3 m 52.84 s / 50 = 4.66 s * 2 = 9.32 s for the whole period.
      Then I used my stop watch and I found an asymetrical period:
      4.73 s between the sharp flash and the smoother 4.58 s for the other
      interval. But at the end of this second sequence of measures the two
      periods were less and less different and suddenly (at 22:10 UT) a
      little flash appeared short after the sharp one : F f A F with
      following intervals :
      F-f = 1.28 s
      f-A = 3.35 s
      A-F = 4.69 s
      which gives again a period of 1.28+3.35+4.69 = 9.32 s
      How can be explained this modification of the pattern? synodic effect?
      MJ.
  b2) A mag 1 meteor distraction between those two reports.
      I'm assuming the second set I missed a couple, and that the true period
      is 4.8.
      Thanks to Mike McCants for noting inconsistency.
  b3) last flash was mag 8, as it approached shadow entry.

  b1) I compared the measured flash positions (in RA/Dec) on the CCD image
      against a tle for 78-058B. Taking into account the delta T between
      predicted and measured end of the trail, I adjusted times until
      predictions matched these positions (or otherwise said: until each
      flash had a similar delta T as the trail end, compared to predictions).
      Doing so, the main flashes are on average 2.98s apart, based on five
      measured flash positions corresponding to:
      flash, UTC (Jan 9, 2012), brightness
      ------------------------------------
      flash 1, 03:04:06.49,  mag +15.5
      flash 2, 03:04:09.47,  mag +16.0
      flash 3, 03:04:12.38,  mag +16.0
      flash 4, 03:04:15.28,  mag +15.6
      flash 5, 03:04:18.40,  mag +15.3
      ------------------------------------
      Each of these main flashes has a secondary flash on either side,
      in this pattern:
      .*.  .*.  .*.  .*.  .*.

  b1) Has different flash periods, for different surface causing the
      flashing. For example, for video I still have for a few minutes
      of it, I observed flashing at roughly
      All times UTC ( Mar 29 )
       9:22:35
       9:23:50
       9:26:20
       9:27:35
      So one flash would be followed by another by roughly 1 min 15 seconds
      with a gap of 2 min 30 sconds,  to the next series of flashes
      (the one's separated by that 1 m 15 seconds of time )
      BD's interpretation:
      a combined period of 1m 15s + 2m 30s = 3m 45s = 225 s.

      Comment by BJG:
      81-119B clearly has an asymmetric flashing. Using your suggested
      11.72s I see one main series (slightly less spread) with about
      0.5s/40 (but note only even numbered flashes) shorter period and
      a secondary with about 1.5s/40 shorter period
      (an obvious synodic effect) i.e. 23.44-0.5/20 for the main series,
      23.44-0.05 for the average. I used 23.41 for my double period
      - see that the secondary series starts out about 10s after the main
      but finishes at about 9s after.

   1) Last night Fred Blount was with us and spotted a
      slowly moving flashing object low in the SSW at
      almost midnight local time.  It was southbound.
      Findsat gives Molniya 1-52 (81-123A, 13012) as a
      pretty good match.  The flash period was pretty
      close to exactly 10 seconds, with alternating
      bright-faint maxima at about five seconds, but
      slightly asymmetrical in time.  The brightest
      ones were about magnitude 5.  The position was
      approximately RA 12:31, Dec -31 (in Hydra south
      of Corvus.

  b1) Last night I was startled when I spotted a satellite that flashed
      quite brightly every 6.7 seconds and moved very slowly from my
      southwest towards the zenith. It flashed to about 4th magnitude.
      Some flashes were "double flashes" separated by only 0.2 seconds
      or so.
      I watched it for about 20 minutes in binoculars and my 8-inch
      telescope. When I stopped, it was tumbling between magnitude
      8 and 10 with a period of 13.4 seconds.
  b2) flashes in southwest 4 mag brighter.
  b3) Has been observed flashing very nicely, including very fast
      double maxima, every 6.54 or 6.55 seconds, more or less.
      Last night I found it just before 4:40 UTC at about decl. -1
      and was still able to see it, although it was fading,
      after 4:46 UTC at about decl. +10.

      service since Mar2001. This was a quick silvery white flash near
      the rather orange 4th mag alp Can, and about as bright.
      Kevin et al, might want to check on this sat.

  b1) Earlier tonight I was looking for Raduga 11 (82-113A, 13669)
      which Don Gardner reported some time ago.  I saw something
      flashing about +5.5 every 13 seconds.  That was Gorizont 15
      (88-028A, 19017).  After Mike got that one in his scope, he
      saw another flash very near it, and that was indeed Raduga
      11, with a flash period of about 74 seconds.  I could see
      it also with 10x50, probably also about +5.5 magnitude.

      m 2.85 f 3.52 a 5.34 sum = 11.71
      a 2.96 => phase change?
      f 3.16 f 3.31 a 5.17 sum = 11.64
      a 3.52 a 2.39 a 5.71 sum = 11.62

      period of 82.2s near Gamma LIB. The flashes were mag 7 or 8, much
      fainter than usual for a Gorizont.

  b1) While looking for 91014A = Raduga27 last night (29th) I accidentally
      found a near-GSO flasher not in PPAS10. It is 83094A = #14328 =
      RCA Satcom 2R and was flashing about mag 6 every 46.241 secs.
      I first saw it at about 2154 UT RA=2344 Dec=-13.4 and was still
      flashing at 221146 UT RA=0002 Dec=-13.2 These positions are near
      full phase (eclipse starting 2222 UT) and maybe it only flashes when
      nearly opposite the sun. It is currently near longitude 14 deg
      east, drifting about 3 deg per day westwards.

1984-012A   14690  OPS 8737 (NOSS 1-6 MSD)
  b1) This object has disrupted.
      This object was also observed on December 19 at 07:06:20 U.T.
      It now spins rapidly.
      Estimated revs/day is 13.4111..
  b2) From TJM:
      Russell recovered 84012A on Dec 19 UTC, which he initially reported
      as an unknown, running more than 20 min late relative the epoch
      Nov 08 elements.
      He made the confirming observations on Dec 21 UTC. He reports that
      coincident with the significantly late arrival, the object no longer
      is steady in brightness, and has a ~1 s period of variation, which
      indicates that it has undergone a small explosive release of some sort.
      The object is the Multiple Satellite Dispenser of the NOSS 1-6 triad,
      so it has a propulsion system, which could have experienced a rupture.
  b3) AR: The supposed 84 012A was flashing F'f' +6(6.5)->inv with a period
      of 1.99 secs (or 7.96 secs if f'f ...f 'f  +8(8)->inv just 10 over
      the horizon).
      I followed the object for 3 minutes. As far as I know, 84 012A is not
      considered a flashing sat.
  b4) in early evening transit 84012A showed alternating bright and faint
      flashes
  b5) in subsequent transit 84012A showed only bright flashes but not as
      bright as in the early transit. Moreover the fp was longer than in
      the early transit between the bright flashes.
  b6) stoptime is not real, my electronic chronograph failed, battery empty.

      Mike McCants found it flashing last night. To my knowledge the only
      time it has been observed previously was by Steve LaLumondiere in
      May 2000 (reported to SeeSat). The flash period is about 96.40
      (or twice that?). It had some interesting variations in the brightness
      and timing of the maxima, including at least a couple of double maxima.

      This object wandered through my field of view while I was

      group A: [2.97 3.43 3.32 9.86 3.08 13.18] sum = 35.84

      group C: [3.15 3.20 6.49 10.04] sum = 22.88
      some tricky assumptions:
      a basic unit of 97.90/30 = 3.263 seconds exists;
      group A contains 11 such basic units, makes 11 * 3.262 = 35.90
      group B contains a full "rotation" of 12 basic units, makes 12 * 3.263 = 39.16
      group C contains 7 such basic units, makes 7 * 3.263 = 22.84
  b4) Timings
      Following the same assumption as in previous note:
      6.32 = 2 basic units (of 3.263 seconds)
      9.70 = 3 basic units
      6.41 = 2 basic units
      6.98 = 2 basic units
      sum  = 9 basic units = 29.41 seconds
      A full rotation should be 12 basic units,
      this is 12/9 * 29.41 = 39.21 seconds

      which is not as accurate IMO.

      I didn't realize until later that I was getting flashed at the
      half-period intervals. The scatter in the times is due to the
      occasional hazy clouds that would drift through my FOV and the fact
      that this object seem to brighten gradually during the flash.

  b1) This object was decommissioned and moved to a graveyard
      orbit about 3 years ago. Apparently it still broadcasts
      some kind of radio signal that varies every 64 seconds.
      I was asked to look for it visually.
      It was quite interesting. Three flashes and a tumble
      were observed every cycle. The flash period was measured as
      64.40 seconds.
      There were secondary flashes about 7.4 seconds before and
      after the primary flash. The primary flash was about magnitude
      6 or 6.5. The secondary flashes were about magnitude 8 or 9.
      Sometimes I could see a tumble to about magnitude 10.5 halfway
      in between the primary flashes.
      I watched it in my 8 inch telescope for over 25 minutes
      and the pattern did not seem to change during that time.
      Usually I could see the flash in my 12x80 finder scope.
      Sometimes Ed could see the flash in his 8x42 binoculars.
      The time was 2:35 to 3:00 UT Nov. 21 = 8:35 to 9:00 CST Nov. 20.
      The satellite was altitude 28, azimuth 114 during this time.
      There is quite a bit of sky brightness from Austin in that
      direction. This was from BCRC - lat 30.32, long 97.87.

  b2) For a couple of nights I got some peculiar flash times.
      The first night I thought they were possibly Gorizont 14 and Raduga 21
      commingled as they were very close to the same position.
      The second night again I got odd flash times but Gorizont 14 should
      have moved on to the west. I asked Mike McCants about these and last
      night he put his telescope on Raduga 21 (18631. 87-100A) and found
      that it alone was the source of these times.
      Here's a sample that I got last night using his telescope:
      ...... 88.85. 32.06. 47.83. 37.63
      32.63. 88.31. 32.00. 47.60. 38.24
      32.63. 88.36. 31.36. 48.28. 37.87
      One reason there's some inexactness in the values is because some of
      the maxima last four to six seconds!

  b1) In email from EC:
      Ron Welch of Australia has discovered that this object,
      a drifting geosynch, is flashing with a period of about
      32.86 seconds. With the episodes being about 10 minutes later each
      night and lasting roughly between 15 and 25 minutes.

  b3) Original email: Got UT times of 47 flashes for April 13.2002.
      Two sets of flashes. first set first seen 11:47:06.9sUT faded out
      12:03:54.1s UT, second set first seen 12:38:54.5 UT stopped obs
      12:49: 32.8 UT.
      Observed using 7x50 binoculars. Max brightness of flashes mag +3
      approx. flash period 33.59 seconds As already observed by Ron Welch
      (Canberra, Australia) there is a phase shift of 180 degrees between
      the two flash sets.

      Actually I saw six or seven flashes at 11 s interval before the 22 s.
      but wasn't ready to clock them initially.

 b22) The phase shift was not as distinctive as usual.
      The second flashing surface was never brighter than about +5.0 mag.
      My best guess is that the phase shift occurred at 03:27 UTC.
 b23) The phase shift was much more distinctive tonight than last night.
      It occurred at approxamately 03:27:30 UTC.
 b24) I have a bit of a problem in doing PPAS reports on it. because of its
      phase shift. Its actual flash period now is 22.6 seconds but because
      of the phase shift and not being able to report half-period counts.
      if I report the actual 22.6 period. I cannot include some cycles. So.
      which of the following is the correct PPAS report?
 b25) The phase shift was at 03:30:30 UTC 14 November
 b26) I watched from 3:07 until 3:43. and the following were the only
      flashes that I saw (mostly every 11.3 seconds but beginning and
      ending with 22.6) using handheld 10x50s. The gibbous Moon was pretty
      high up. Weather was very nice. The first flash I saw was 3:17:33.5;
      first 4.5 cycles not figured in PPAS report due to phase shift issue.
      The reported magnitude is something of a guess. due to watching it
      with binoculars. the Moonlight. of course.
 b27) The phase shift occurred at 03:35:30 UTC
 b28) The phase shift occured at 03:36:00. For some reason the peak flashes
      from the second flashing surface were much brighter than those from
      the first flashing surface (+1.0 mag vs +3.0 mag).
 b29) The Phase shift occurred at 03:48:30 UTC.
      BJG emailed following:
      Using the elset Ed included in his mail. Don acquired Suprbird-A on
      2002-12-04 near RA 01:59. decl. -8.7 (2000).
      Phase shift was at RA 02:02 decl. -8.5.
      End of obs. at RA 02:06.5 decl. -8.4 Expect a shift of -0:04 in RA
      per day.
      If the two phases are symmetric, acquisition could have been at
      RA 01:57 decl. -8.8
      On Nov.03 Don reported a flash from a different surface nearly 40
      minutes before the usual double event.
      I'd be happy to receive more observations of these flashes !

 b32) The phase shift occurred at 03:43:30 on 24 June UTC and on 03:44:30 on
      25 June UTC. I managed to accidently delete the splits for the 25 June
      flashes. The initial flashing surface gave the "smear" type flashes
      for the first minute or so.
 b33) The phase shift for Superbird A occurred at 03:18:30 UTC 18 November.
      The surface that began flashing first was about 1-2 mag brighter
      during the phase shift. I have some flash times for Raduga 33 but I
      need to extract the extraneous half period flashes if only to make
      some sense of the times.
 b34) the observation began at the phase shift (03:20 UTC 22 November)
 b35) The first observation covers the so-called (by me anyway) "Phantom
      Surface". What was particularly noteworthy was. with the exception
      of the first few flashes. they were all double flashes. The main
      flash was preceded by a dimmer flash by about 0.5 second. The double
      flashes ended abruptly at 03:17:55 UTC.
      This was followed by the usual Superbird A flash pattern
      (Second PPAS report).
      The phase shift for occurred at 03:26:30
 b36) The phase shift was around 03:27:30 UTC. I wanted to see if I could
      observe the entire "phantom surface" and phase shift flash cycles.
      I started observing Superbird A at 02:40 UTC and saw no flashes until
      03:06:52 UTC. I observed no double flashes. I'm convinced that if the
      surface that yields the bright flashes first is the "A" surface and
      the second surface that yields bright flashes is the "B" surface.
      then the "phantom surface" is the "B" surface.
 b37) The phase shift occurred at 03:46:00 UTC. 22 December. I managed to
      observe both the flash sessions. There was a period of 6:33 between
      the 2 sessions where no flashing was observed.
 b38) Phase shift at 03:14 UTC
 b39) Phase shift at 03:17:04 UTC
 b40) Phase shift at 03:25 UTC
 b41) The unknown/phantom surface of Superbird A was flashing around
      7.5 mag when I acquired it at 02:35 UTC. The main show began at
      03:08:58 UTC (after a 12 minute 38 second gap in the flashing)
      and ended at 03:19:55 UTC. The phase shift was at 03:15 UTC.
 b42) Through the summer haze on Saturday night I had a much better look at the
      whole Superbird A flash cycle. The phase shift was circa 03:13:00 UTC
 b43) Thanks to Bjorn's calculations I observed this object. A few minutes
      earlier than predicted. Saw one flash before the first timing.
      So it started perhaps already before 03:22:19 UT.
      Could just see it naked eye halfway, hence the 2 period timing.

      Some of the flashes looked like a beam of light as from a
      lighthouse.
      It looks like there is a longer and shorter period, although

 b52) I'm not sure which of these two PPAS reports is technically
      correct. (I think that since it begins with three 22+ second
      cycles, probably 22+ seconds is the actual flash period. The
      PPAS data-entry software decided on two versus three decimal
      places in the flash period.)

      I was puzzled that it didn't end with at least one 22-second

      I first saw it at about 3:47:47 UTC, and my last click was at about

      I was able to see a few flashes without binoculars, but they weren't easy
      only +4.0 at best, maybe only +4.5. It was around RA 8:54-55, Dec +9.3,

      (89-053A. 20122).
      Its visual characteristics aren't easy. so beyond saying that its
      brightest maxima were about +9 and the repetition period seemed to be
      about 6:45. I'll leave any further analysis to him!

  b1) MW's comment:
      89081A = #20263 = Gorizont 19
      On the 7th I saw mid-flashes at 202022 203501 210419 and 211901 UT.
      I did not look for the 2005 flash. I looked for the 2134 flash but
      saw nothing. The period was 879.7+-0.2s. Thanks to Rainer for his
      flash data. Rainer's times give a period of 881.7+-0.2s. These
      periods are inconsistent. but the period is estimated on the
      assumption that it is constant. If we fit to Rainer's first 4 times
      (matching my flashes) then we get 879.5+-.2s which is close to my
      period. However the rate of change of period during Rainer's
      observations is about 4 sec per hour which is not consistent with
      the change in period from 1 day to the next. Possibly this is due to
      the shape of the surface of Gorizont: for example a slightly twisted
      surface would give each flash from a different part of the surface.
      The period does not seem to be increasing smoothly. which is why my
      prediction for April 7th was 3 minutes out. My guess for Europe for
      tonight (Apr 8) is that the period will be 882+-1s. and the flashes
      will be within 2 minutes  of
      2008 2023 2038 2052 2107 2122 2136 2151.
      If we had observations from outside Europe then it should be possible
      to determine the direction of Gorizont's spin axis.

      (each time is an average of first-seen & last-seen. probably 1 or 2
      sec after middle) which give a period of 883.9+_.2 secs. These
      flashes show that the apparent period increases over the 2 hours.
      an effect first seen in Rainer Kracht's observations on the 7th.
      My first five flashes give 882.7+-0.1s. the last five give
      886.1+-0.3s.
      I predict that on the 9th the period (over the first hour) will be
      within 1s of 886s. and flashes will be within 1 min of
      2003 2018 2033 2048 2102 2017 2032 2047 UT.

  b1) I had just started watching Intelsat 402 Rk (71-006B, 04882)
      when there was a +5.0 flash near it.  I thought it was a
      flashing geosynch and checked my printout and found a known
      one near the position, but when I looked back and waited for
      another flash, it was a couple of degrees farther north --
      not a more-or-less equatorial flashing geosynch.  Its flash
      period was about 36.6 seconds.  As it continued farther north
      it got fainter until I couldn't see it.
      It seems like it must have been Cosmos 2050 (89-091A, 20330,
      an Oko), although it needs to be confirmed.  Its range at the
      first flash was almost 11,500 miles (18,400 km).  Cosmos 382

  b3) some at max mag +4 flashes 0.20 0.25 seconds apart.
  b4) some doubles, last ten or eleven were .2-second double
      maxima, getting fainter; same FOV as Gorizont 29 (1993-072 A)
  b5) some doubles; fast, bright double maxima but faded fast
      (Flashes maybe 20-25 minutes later each night? Got predictions
      for it and Superbird A after going home from BCRC.)
  b6) It give mag 8 are brighter flashes. I could see double flashes
      for part of the show, and then only 1 bright flash from it.
      It did the same thing less then 1/2 half hour ago,
      when it flashed brightly for a short time.

      stabilized at 50 rpm.  Its spin rate has decreased to 39 rpm
      since it was taken out of service in 2002. It seems to have a
      brief series of short flashes followed by a single flash.

  b1) Yuri 3A (90-077A, 20771) was visible flashing for at least an
      hour, 3:41-4:39 UTC (RA 8:25-9:23). Who knows how long it
      was flashing before and/or after that? Most of the brightest
      flashes (magnitude +3) were every 186 seconds, but every so
      often two in a row would be bright (i.e., every 93 seconds).
      It's really more complicated than that. There seemed to be a
      repetition every 11 short cycles (11 times 93 seconds).

  b1) The one question is that for much of it, I could only see it
      every 54.5 seconds. So I'm unsure as to whether the period is
      the shorter or the longer duration (27.25 or 54.50?)
      During the time above, actually only the last four maxima were
      separate by 27.25 seconds. All of the preceding ones were every
      54.50 seconds. I think my cut-off time above may have been near
      the phase shift.

   b1) Ed and I spotted an object flashing to brighter than zero
       magn.every 7.5 seconds.  In between flashes it was about
       magn. +8.  The flashes did not seem "sharp" to me - they
       seemed "square".  On for a fraction of a second and then off.
       The flashes were mainly white in the 8 inch telescope, but
       they had a green tinge.

1991-003A   21055  Italsat 1
   b1) Last night toward the end of the session I thought I'd look for
       90007, to see if it might be flashing. After 30 or 40 seconds
       there was a flash. The next flash was 61 seconds later. That
       matched what we had seen on November 5 from Canyon of the Eagles.
       I had predictions for Italsat 1 as well as 90007 but had not
       realized that they were almost in the same place because the
       predictions were on two different pages. Mike got it in the
       telescope, and it appeared to match Italsat 1's position quite
       well. This one appears to have a fairly short flash episode
       and so ramps up and then down quickly. I believe the brightest
       flash would have been visible without binoculars. I got times
       on it from 4:00 to 4:15 UTC, when it was at about RA 0:41 to
       0:56, Dec -11.7 to -11.3 (2000).

       We watched it for about 13 minutes as the flashes got brighter
       then fainter. The brightest flash was at 3:04:27. The flash period
       was 59.41 seconds. A previous observation was August 17 at 5:02
       with a period of 59.0 seconds. It appears to be flashing
       about 3 minutes earlier each night.

      Saw some very faint flashes. before a bright mag 5 flash. Here I
      started my stopwatch. After two more bright flashes the next two were
      invisible or just very faint. Then again two mag 5 flashes. and two
      more fainter. Next max not seen and stopped timing after two more

  b3) At last. despite some haze at Malma. I was able to see some flashes
      from Raduga 27. I had forgotten the flash period. and after each
      flash I searched for two-three minutes but never saw consecutive
      flashes. OTOH. the ones I saw. after rest periods for arms and eyes.
      were not on even (or higher) multiples of the assumed period either.

      at #5919) some flashes were fainter. Last period from 20:11 several
      flashes were missed. or fainter.
      Period is probably 129.280 s - of the last pass 5 flashes were on
      integer multiples. only 2 on half-period  (in the first pass 9
      integer. 7 half) I am very surprised at the low residuals at so long
      flashing intervals. Even so. there is clear graphic indication that
      the period was higher on the first pass (>129.292). lower on the last
      (129.25. not random variation?).

1991-037A   21392  Aurora 2
  b1) Observed a previously unreported geoflasher, found by Ron Welch of
      Canberra, and ID by Ed Cannon. This is Aurora 2, 1991 37A. The shortest
      interval between flashes was 175.9 seconds, but there were both intervals
      (3) of twice this and three of 3 times the smallest. Thus rather undecided
      on period.
      Rather a difficult object to observe with handheld binoculars for a hour,
      but i dont think i missed too many flashes. all I saw were strobe like and
      mag 2-3.

  b1) The other day, I observed molyina 1-81 flashing, every approx 20 seconds.
      I had wrote:
      I observed that it produce a bright flash every 20 seconds.
      Last time I observed it, I got around 8 seconds.
      in message
         http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jul-2005/0264.html
      I can see I wasn't paying attention, as I for some reason was thinking of
      the molyina 1-88, when I was actually observing molyina 1-81.
      It was molyina 1-88 that flashed every approx 8 seconds. So I had discovered
      another flashing molyina by accident, as I aimed at the wrong satellite!
      And at the time I did know, I discovered another flashing molyina, I do now:)
      So I am a happy sat observer. It's fun to observe them flash.
      I beleive it's flashing earlier every night also like molyina 1-88, based on
      what I have observed playing back the video. I check on it tommorow night,
      if it's clear.

  b1) I found Yuri 3B (91-060A. 21668) flashing pretty brightly
      (brightest maxima at least +4.0) last night. It was asymmetrical.
      so I'm not sure what its flash period is: first flash 2:28:41.90
      August 19 UTC

      73.39. 72.96
      73.48. 72.90 2:48:12.90 ended obs
      The flashes were quick. all of the above visible in binocs.
  b2) I found that Yuri 3B's (91-060A. 21668) "real" flash period seems to
      be about 367.7. so it's interesting that the shorter intervals of
      about 73.5 and 147 seconds are 1/5 and 2/5! What happened was that
      for the last 20 minutes though I tried to see it every 73 seconds.
      the only flashes I saw were every 367.7 seconds. When I first looked
      there were some 73.5 seconds apart. or I would not have seen it at
      all.
  b3) Yuri 3B (91-060A. 21668) was seen flashing brightly a few minutes
      before Superbird A on Friday evening (about 3:15:20 Dec 20 UTC).
      My last recorded click was at about 4:19. With my 10x50s it was seen
      sometimes every 73 seconds but other times only after 146 seconds and
      the magnitudes vary in a complex way but the brightest are at least
      +4.0.

      had caught the corner of my eye I turned my attention to the sky region
      where I thought I had seen the flash and soon saw another flash.
      Eventually I saw a series of flashes that varied from +3 up to +0,
      with a 36.3 second period. Didn't have a clue what it was. Last night
      after getting back home I deduced that the flasher was either
      Superbird B1 (likely) or rocket body 96-034D (less likely).
      Now I know it was Superbird B1.

      but the pattern was one visible minimum and the other invisible.

      03:50:03 >+8 invisible

  b2) Unexpectedly bright during long lasting flat maxima.
      Longer observation times in different directions might resolve
      a proper optical period.
  b3) Timings were taken on rather well defined, short minima
      (Therefore comma (,) in stead of single quote (')).
      The maxima were long and flat (therefore M).
      The period given is the mean of following values:
      46.87 55.48 43.59 47.17 66.96 between minima (can be indicated by M,)
      Four seconds after the last but one minimum TOPEX showed a mag -1 flash.
      With the reported end time 22:33:21.0 minus 66.96 plus 4 seconds the

 b17) Acted very differently than other sightings, with bright
      flashes then "flickering" in between
 b18) Still an enigmatic object, typical A was mag +3
 b19) Much more "active" in northern part of pass - then settled
      into a fairly steady period.

      1st, 3rd and 4th group have about same length,
      2nd group is longer (phase shift?)
 b28) a good period determination was possible thanks to a well defined
      primary maximums with a lot of less bright "noise" in between.
 b29) brightest maximum of a series is a bright flash,
      this maximum tends to shift with respect to other round maxima.
 b30) Now timed on round maximum that preceeds the flash.
      The brightest maxima are still on the flash.
 b31) +4->inv
      First (timed) maxima was usually ~2s long; once puncuated
      with a flash.
      2nd A was usually a flash at beginning of pass, degraded
      to a dim A.
      3rd A was always just a short A, although usually almost
      as bright as 1st A.
      Last A was usually dim and short until at end of pass it
      became a sharp flash, some 5 mag.

 b35) Two separate observations. In the time between them the satellite
      flashed to negative magnitudes. Unfortunately the other maxima made
      it impossible to find a pattern.
 b36) Variation pattern evolved from aaaM' via faaM' and fafM' to a__M'.
      Some inaccuracy may be introduced to the fact that only the flat
      maxima (coded by M) were present in all periods and the end of

      Comment from KJ:
      In the PPAS entry
      92- 85 A 00-12-18            MM                 4.40  fl+5,

      Mike McCants allready mentioned "smlowinsouth".
      "sm" is the code for >secundary maxima, meaning that there were
      flashes at 2.20 interval low in the South.
      Your image which is now at
      http://nightevents.blogspot.com/2006/03/molniya-3-4392-085a.html
      clearly shows the same behaviour : from top to bottom we first see
      no secundary flashes, then they become visible and increase in
      brightness.
      Finally they are the same magnitude of the primary ones giving
      a half-period when measured at that time.
      An increase from 2.2 to 2.35 seems to be pretty reasonable for this
      type of >objects.

 b40) FR was the observation set of regular flash period intervals on
         April 28th, 2009.
      FI was the observation set of very irregular flash period intervals on
         April 22nd, 2009.
      FR yielded a short period of 2.65 seconds but I noticed an ondulation
      in the maximum brightnesses on every 8 periods. This long period was
      determined as well and was used to see whether the FI set yielded a
      similar long period by grouping short maxima intervals.
      I found such a period, but I am aware this way of working might be not
      correct. Any comment is welcome.
      The several types of  maxima (round, flashy or flat) did not help me much,
      nor did the pattern of the short, medium and long interval times.
      I did not even find a pattern in the individual maximum brightness values
      (magnitudes)
      Here follows the grouping and timings of the FI-set:
      (f4 3.14 f6 7.50 f7 2.96 f4 5.31 a6 2.49) sum = 21.40

 b45) Below are my times for NOAA 13 for 15 July UTC.
      Note that by #57 it was behaving such that I could
      only reliably see two of the four flashes, and by
      the end only two were visible at all.
      None of the flashes was very bright on this pass.

      BD: the numbers in the 1st column are added by me and
          indicate the number of flashes since flash # 48
          reported by EC. As EC did not write the flashtimes
          prior to flash # 48. I determined the flash period
          using his flashes 48 thru 76 (my 00 thru 46).
      EC: The night before, it was doing more of a FFF_-pattern,
          but I lost my times for that one (mistaken button
          click on the stopwatch).

  b1) discovered by Mike Waterman. in England; may be visible now from
      eastern North America. Gorizonts can be as bright as +4.5 but
      generally are more like +5 at best.
  b2) With Mike's 8-inch (200mm) scope, Gorizont 29 had a tertiary
      maximum at 1/4 cycle, a long secondary at 1/2 cycle, and was nearly
      invisible for the last quarter of each cycle
  b3) Phase Shift at 03:33:30 UTC; 27 June 2004
      Gorizont 29 seems to be slowing down a bit from Ed Cannon's report

  b7) Below are the last two evenings' clicks on Telstar 401
      I didn't have binoculars and saw only the flashes listed.
      Both evenings the first one seemed to be the brightest,
      and the last two were considerably fainter than the other four.
      Clicks on 2005 November 29 UTC; Univ. of Texas at Austin campus
      brightest maxima were about +1.0 magnitude, very easily seen
      without binoculars even though it was quite low in the sky.

      Then I switched to 10x50s and did not see any more flashes.
      This may be explained by the fact that you saw your last one at
      1:23:11
      And I typically see the flashes 6 minutes earlier.

 b13) I observed Telstar 401 (22927, 93 77A) last night and it matched
      Ed's description.  I measured a flash period of 83.53 seconds.
      This is 10 seconds smaller than what I measured last year.
      I observed Telstar 401 from 03:26 until 03:54.  It was not as
      bright as Ed reported at 03:26 and it gradually faded, so I assume
      that it was brighter before 03:26.
      At 03:26, the bright flashes were about magnitude 4.  Alternate
      bright flashes had a magnitude 7 flash about 3 seconds before them.
 b14) Saw at least four mag. +1.0 flashes with the first one at about
      01:34:58 UTC when it was around RA 21:11, Dec. -17.7.  It may
      have done some before that. In the past it flashed earlier
      from evening to evening, maybe 15 minutes.
 b15) While watching a Centaur saw a bright flash nearby.
      It was followed about 73.8 seconds later by another and another.
      Saw two or three of them without binoculars.  Time was
      about 4:33 UTC on 28 June; RA about 15:50-16:00, Dec about -7.5.
      The last flash that I was able to see was at about 4:45:04.
      I'm pretty sure that it flashes some minutes
      earlier from night to night.
 b16) I wrote that I saw it about 4:33 UTC on 28 June.
      Last night (5 July) I saw it at about 3:12.  So
      that's very roughly about 11-12 minutes earlier
      from night to night.  Its brightest flashes are
      at least +1 magnitude, about every 74 seconds.
      As it has been getting too faint for me, on
      the evenings I watched it that long it began to
      do double flashes separated by about 2.2 seconds
      on every other cycle.
      It's certainly farther east in RA after seven nights.

      Its tumble period seems to have nearly stabilized after 6 years at
      about 8.5 seconds.
  b2) There were secondary flashes 7 to 7.5 seconds after the main flash.
  b3) EC reported: spotted by Fred.
  b4) ETS 6 -- only a few visible without binoculars,
      at about 3:47:00 plus or minus; many of the maxima were about
      +4.5 to +5.0.
  b5) MCH = Mike Chini.
  b6) The position was 8h 02m +4.1 at 2:12:06 UT for me and this matches
      quite well with ETS-6. I found it accidentally while tracking
      NOSS 8(H) (18025)
      after systematically searching for half an hour. I was able to just
      see some 1X flashes but not consistently due to some broken clouds.
      Then, after a break, it cleared up and I found a flasher that from the
      previous drift could be ETS-6 again, but now the flashes were quite
      different, 85 sec period, "up flash" in look like I've seen with
      Atlas r/b's and brighter at +5.
  b7) Flashes could just be seen 1x but not well enough for timings.

  b1) This rocket seems to me rather fast flashing.
      Still I doubt whether it is real. Small magnitude amplitude.
      The flash periode is very doubtful.
  b2) This time the faint flashes were more convincing than during previous
      observations on this sat. I estimated the optical period as I was not
      able to count.
  b3) at last after several attempts to detemine a period in the variability.

      Luch (94-082A, 24038). (Thanks very much to Mike for the rapid ID!)

      Bjoern Gimle has done an extensive analysis of my recent obs of this

1996-010A   23794  Raduga 33
  b1) Original email:
      A bright distant flasher distracted me from looking for USA 129
      tonight. I saw a negative magnitude flash at RA 10:06 dec.+30
      (upper W Leo) at about 19:46:17 UTC and followed it down to
      11:42.0 +14 07' at 19:52:40. I later determined the period of bright
      flashing to be 31.14 s (SYNODIC.EXE) with secondary flashes at about
      -7.4 and +8.8 relative to the bright flashes (which disappeared after
      19:50:39)
  b2) I observed Raduga 33 in two sequences
      03-08-24 21:15:17.9 (RA 22:10 +35.2) to
               21:25:14.9 (RA 23:37 +32.5. mag -1 to +2)
            to 21:33:00.5 (+5?). then
               22:15:18   (RA 01:37 +17.6) to
               22:24:59   (RA 01:45 +16.0. +4)
      I should have a phase shift, but lap memory filled. and though I
      tried to start on a full minute (which I hope I remember correctly).
      some (keypress?) error stopped the clock before I could check the
      timing. But the chart (96-10A3.gif) shows that. while it was faint.
      the period decreased by about 0.08 seconds. It also shows that the
      first keypress was a second late (omitted in chart 3a); that I
      observed two (faint) flashes a quarter-period before the main series.
      and that my individual timing errors are about +-0.2 s. However.
      the standard error of the linear fit to the first series is just ...
      After a period of too faint flashes (and clouds. 42 minutes). the
      first point is about 0.8 late. and omitted from PPAS.
  b3) 21:55:15.5; 48.8; 56:22.1

      16.6 seconds <- circa 7.5 mag

   2) Comment from TM on previous
      Allowing for some flares apparently not detected, it appears that the

   1) Ed Cannon was observing naked-eye flashes from a geosync and so I
      decided to take a look. Then I noticed a much brighter flash about
      25 degrees west and a little south of the geosync that Ed was watching.
      It turned out to be Echostar 2 (24313, 96-055A). Echostar 2 was reported
      to be flashing very brightly by Kevin Fetter last March 10.
      Ed and I estimated that the brighest flashes were about magnitude -1
      tonight. The flash period was measured at 240.3 seconds - almost exactly
      4 minutes.
      We observed flashes from about 3:40 UT until about 4:40 UT Nov. 5, 2010

  b1) EC: Two nights in the last few Iridium 9 (97-030C. 15874) has
      exhibited an asymmetrical pattern. Last night in addition it also
      showed a type of phase shift. The flash period was about
      10.25 seconds (roughly 9.00 1.25). and the brightest maxima might
      have been -1 magnitude. These were on southbound evening passes low
      in the east. in twilight.

  b1) At about 2:36:27-28 one of the brightest flashes that I
      have ever seen. This was at about RA 20:38-39, Dec +17.0
      (2000). I don't know if I've seen an Iridium flare as
      bright. The range was about 405 miles (650 km); Quicksat
      phase angle was 34 (where zero would be full phase and
      180 new, i.e., backlit). I was at the Ney Museum site
      (30.307N, 97.727W, 150m). Most of the pass was no big
      deal, but it began brightening after crossing most of the
      sky. I was wondering if it could have made -10 magnitude.
      It was awesome.

  b4) Between 22h29m and 22h30m UT  I serendipitously noticed 3 short flashes
      at mag 2-3 of a polar satellite descending from Ursa Major to the NNW horizon.
      Thanks to Calsky it turned out to be Iridium 44, 1997-77 B.
      The photometric period was roughly estimated at 25 sec.
      Not a common behaviour for an Iridium satellite it seems.

      of sky as yesterday, that the flash happened approx 4 minutes later.

1998-024B   25312  B-Sat 1B
   1) Saw B-Sat 1B from 1:59:44 to 2:25:33 UTC, starting when it
      was around RA 21:24, Dec -10.5.
      Mike noticed the night before that its asymmetrical,
      with one half about 0.4 seconds longer than the other.
      It can do one-power flashes, but they are fast and
      so need a pretty good sky.
      At 1:21:31 UTC I saw a very bright flash several
      degrees east of B-Sat 1B but did not see any more.

   1) I was aiming at where Intelsat 6B ( 25585 ) was predicted to be,
      and notice a bright star around the area it was to be. I then moved
      my scope, to check on 2 bright stars nearby, and when I went back to
      the spot, the star, I thought I had seen was gone. So I waited a few
      minutes, and Intelsat 6B got bright for a short time.

      a few seconds.

 b54) In the first part of the transit I used a 20 x 80 binoculars.
 b55) In the second part, from about the culmination point I used my standard
      7 x 50 binoculars. I intended to include the time between the two
      parts of the transitobservation. However when I divided that time, its
      quotient turned out to be not close to an integer value. Therefore I
      did not work out this intention.
      During this part of the transit the object flashed once brightly to
      magnitude +2 I guess. No other bright flashes were seen.

  b1) Tonight just before the system bomb out due to running of
      out-of-HDD space.I noticed there is a bright sat trail with
      x1 bright flash.
      The trajectory and timing matches SL-16 R/B1 99014B.
      There is one single entry in PPAS..
      My  question what object is this? And does it have mirror
      surface(s) or any one saw such flash before. ( or what I have
      seen happen to be a one-off reflection.. due to favorable
      sun-obj-observer angle?)

  b1) Last night this object did not disappoint. One flash at
      least -5 if not -6. then a fainter flash. then about 84-85 seconds
      later a -4 followed by -3. (Of course it's not easy to estimate
      these flashes.) The flash period seems to have accelerated to less
      than 19 seconds.

  b4) Some neat double flashes about every
      21.5 seconds. 4:28:47.35 till 4:29:29.7. with three more non-doubles.
  b5) I added "asymmetrical" because of the following timings. which may
      include a phase shift as well:
      16.58. 16.52. 16.57. 16.70. 5.35. 11.28. 5.17. 11.45. 5.05. 16.56.
      16.69. 16.51. 16.74
  b6) Up to -3 (-4?) magnitude flashes occurred at

      04:09:13.6
      04:09:29.6
      04:11:13.4 and
      04:11:29.4 and some fainter secondaries were visible.
  b7) In the last few sessions, Orion 3 has done at
      least a few very bright (-2 or -3 or maybe -4) flashes -- and
      sometimes on two passes per session. They have been mostly in
      the southwest. One evening while watching Telstar 401 I was
      distracted by such flashes. I didn't have any predictions for
      it and only later I found they were Orion 3. I believe that
      its flash period is now 17.nn seconds, but secondary flashes
      can be seen.
  b8) I planned and observed Orion 3 again last night and am now
      convinced this was the UNID of 8/21/06 that many of you helped
      me find. With naked eye, I had two quick (~1 sec) mag +2.5 flares
      at 2:19:50 & 2:20:04, followed by a period (untimed) where it was
      barely visible (say +4.5), and then another round, mag 1.5
      @ 2:21:50, and mag +2 @ 2:22:04 UT, with the same short period
      (~5 sec) of +4.5 mag. After this, couldn't find with 10 x 50's.
  b9) My stopwatch clicks.  It was observed from the
      BCRC site: 30.315N, 97.866W, 280 meters.
      The second flash, for which I managed a significantly late click,
      was at least zero magnitude.  But that's the only magnitude that
      I have (sorry!).

      The last series, beginning at about 3:55:05,
      were very easy to see with my 8x42 binoculars and also
      were tricky due to actually being a very close double flash,
      with the two maxima so close that at first they were smeared
      together.  As they slowly grew fainter, they became a bit
      more distinct.

1999-057A   25940  CBERS 1
   1) On March 12, 2007, Laura Grego posted:
      I've heard a rumor of a breakup associated with the Chinese-Brazilian
      satellite CBERS 1 (25940).
      It seems that the primary satellite is still being tracked, but there
      are 14 new pieces of debris associated.
      http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2007/0106.html
      About this time, 14 debris pieces 99-057NN to 99-057PB were cataloged by
      Spacecom as "CBERS 1 DEB" (not CZ-4 DEB).
      Then on April 29, 2007, Ed Cannon and I reported that we observed CBERS 1
      tumbling and flashing rapidly (period = 1.36 seconds) and that there was a
      change in the mean motion of CBERS 1 about Feb. 20, 2007.
      http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Apr-2007/0328.html
      Ed and I again found CBERS 1 flashing rapidly last night
      (period = 1.41 seconds).
      So now the question becomes: is there a debris piece that intersects
      the orbit of the payload before Feb 20, 2007?
      For this analysis, I selected elsets 07048.758 and 07064.732 for 25940 and
      elset 07073.596 for the debris object 30792.
      The latitude/longitude prediction for these 3 elsets agree for the time
      Feb. 18, 2007 about 10:00 UT (plus or minus an hour or two).
      So my conclusion is that there was a small "event" associated with this
      payload about that time.
      The April issue of NASA's "Orbital Debris Quarterly News" agrees with this
      assessment and mentions that about two dozen debris objects had been detected.

  b2) flare already in progress by the time I saw it. Each time it was very
      obvious to the naked eye for 2-3 minutes even with full moon on Sunday.
  b3) flare just starting (mag 7) by the time I saw it. It was very obvious
      to the naked eye for 2-3 minutes even with nearly full moon in Leo.
      Distracted during maximum light but believe it was slightly dimmer than last

  b1) EC's full comment:
      I hope someone somewhere else can see this object, as our weather does not
      look promising for the next few evenings. The brightest flashes probably
      were at least +3.0, very easy to see with 8x binoculars. The pattern was
      asymmetrical, with flashes at about 40.50 and 38.00 seconds, or vice versa.

      Monday evening I saw this one flash at about 3:11:32 while I was tracking
      OAO 3 (72-065A, 06153, a.k.a. Copernicus), which was at about 14:57, -0.9
      (J2000) at that time. I saw two more flashes, and then when I checked my
      stopwatch to see the time between flashes, I got disoriented and could not
      find the place again.

      Tuesday evening, the weather permitted, and following the Mike McCants
      principle of looking to see if an object will be there 24 hours later,
      I found it again!
      Here are *approximate* positional data (epoch J2000):

      2005/06/01 03:02:44 RA 14:44, Dec -2.9
      2005/06/01 03:12:35 RA 14:54, Dec -2.9

      I got the complete elsets file from Space-Track and ran Findsat and did not
      get a good match. The position above was several minutes of RA west and a
      little south of Galaxy 1 (83-065A, 14158), and there was an SL-12 Rk2
      (91-046D, 21536) also very nearby. Those two were both a little too far east
      and also would not be expected to flash so brightly, I believe.

      Although I lost the place Monday evening, I believe that the object did not
      drift very much from one night to the next. Also, it was flashing at close
      to the same time.

      I wonder if it might possibly be unknown 90007 (discovered in June 2000),
      but we don't have current elements for that one, which oscillates back and
      forth over this hemisphere and of course is normally much much fainter.

      The observing site was BCRC, 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.

      Here are the (very surprisingly consistent) flash timings
      from June 1:

      -----, 40.38 seconds (slightly late first click),
      37.98, 40.50,
      38.00, 40.55,
      38.10, 40.50,
      38.09, 40.50,
      38.14, 40.50,
      78.60,
      78.60

      I don't know when it began flashing. It was getting very
      faint at the end of the above timings.

      BD's comment: I dropped the 1st 40.38 to determine the combined flash
      period as given in the main list.

      MM's comments later:

      These positions match the predicted position for 90007 based on
      observations last year. Updated elset:

      Unknown 000601
      1 90007U 00653A 05152.66210219 0.00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 03

      However, Ed's discovery and other observations of this object
      in June, 2000 did have reports of flashes to at least magnitude 4.
  b2) Finally, one PPAS on UNID 90007:
      Timings
      42.69, 45.55, 42.68, 45.67, 42.76, 45.67, 42.72, 45.50, 42.75, 45.50,
      42.89, 45.50, 42.93, 45.38, 42.83, 45.57, 42.69, 45.60, 42.93, 45.58,
      42.61, 45.76
  b3) 00-653A was visible about two hours earlier than I observed in August,
      nearly a month ago.
      The UNID was located at RA 23:46 and Dec. ?13:35 at 05:44:10 UTC. It
      flashes with a period of approximately 10 seconds and was visible between
      05:43 and 05:45 UTC. The timings last night were: 19.51 (2), 9.83, 9.95,
      9.84, 9.96, 9.91, 9.90, 9.87, 10.0, 9.91, 9.90. I have actually seen this
      one several times during the last week and it was quite bright (roughly
      mag 3). From my location, it flashes very nearly the same time each night
      for approximately 2 minutes, as seen in 10x50s.
  b4) Last night I was again able to see some flashes from 90007,
      roughly around RA 8:43-50, Dec +6 (bright stars in far northern
      Hydra) at about 4:36-43.  I saw a bright flash about 168 seconds
      earlier, but I'm not sure it was 90007, since it doesn't seem to
      fit the flash period of 130.n (asymmetrical, 63.p, 67.q), and it
      was brighter than those that I'm sure were from 90007.  But on
      the other hand it seems likely that it was, because nothing else
      seems to have been at that position at the time.
  b5) Here's the time I saw a flash
      All time UTC ( Apr 12 ), followed by interval in seconds
      4:31:17
      4:35:29 252
      4:36:36 67
      4:37:40 64 - Brightest Flash of them all,
                   between mag 3 to 4 I would estimate.
      4:38:48 68
      4:39:51 63
      4:40:59 68
      4:42:03 64
      4:43:11 68
      4:45:22 131
      BD's comments:
      assuming 4 maxs for 1st interval and 2 for last,
      I get 13 almost equal intervals, making fp 65.
      If it is the half period, period is 130

      spaced minima.
  b3) A higher SE pass confirmed the period AND the asymmetry. I observed
      it for about 112 seconds from 21:04:38 UTC. and the best fit period
      for the deep minima was 13.52 seconds. The shallow minima had a large

  b1) Is going up slowly. Still some differances in the measured times.
      Timings on every 10th flash:
      9.00 9.79 9.72 9.81 9.75 9.66 9.70 9.61 9.89 9.79 9.43 10.06 9.03

      9.96 10.48 10.92 sec.
      Towards the end more amplitude in the timings. probably due to the
      changing view angle.
  b3) A nice high pass. With the period now above 1 sec it is easier to
      measure.

  b6) EC: Jonathan Wojack wrote regarding the flash pattern of
      Meteor 3M-1 Rk (01-056F. 27006):
      flash-[1 second at minima]-3 fast flashes in a little less than a
      second- [1 second at minima] The last two evenings I observed the
      same asymmetry on the early pass in the east. but not on the later
      pass in the west. The three quick flashes were very distinct last
      night. For six cycles I timed trying to get the entire pattern.
      I got 2.55. 2.75. 2.59. 2.73. 2.63. and 2.77 seconds.
      On the later pass. I got four sets of 10 (or 5) cycles as
      13.18. 13.36. 13.36. and 13.33 seconds.
      PPAS report on that later pass (including a few more single clicks).
  b7) An almost overhead pass from low in the north to the SSE.
      Timings on every 10th flash with 4 sets of timings on every flash:

  b9) (RBS: Last night (29 Jul 02) 00:37 UTC Meteor 3M Rk (27006U) passed
      within 3 degrees to the north of Polaris heading east. Jonathan
      Wojack was right on the money with the flash pattern being tied to
      the pass direction. The eastern pass on the 28th was the wild flash
      pattern with phase shifting just as Jonathan said and last night on
      the 29th the pass was westerly. and I got the more tamed 1.18-1.62
      second flash pattern. I recorded the following times:
      1.39. 1.43. 1.49. 1.59. 1.22. 1.44. 1.34. 1.22. 1.55. 1.41. 1.37.

      1.55. 1.45. 1.38.
 b10) Was flashing again on this higher pass. Large spread in flashtimings.
      Not all of the secondary flashes timed. Using Bjorns Synodic program
      I get a better fix with P=4.75 sec. but then the number of flashes
      doesn't fit. Timings

      Large differences in individual timings.
      BJG's comment on this:
      Plotting "absolute" flash times in SYNODIC this looks like an
      unusually quick (for a Zenith-2) synodic (or phase?) shift.
      (BTW. adding the laps. I get 226.5 not 224.5 recording absolute
      timings has a reduced uncertainty  "which, and how many, laps were
      incorrect. or just the sum?") There is only one transitional flash,
      at 120.92 s cumulative. Flashes before that one are recorded 2.36 to
      0.88 s early wrt a multiple of 7.48; after that one they are 0.69 to
      1.49 s late. Increasing the estimated period to 7.52 slightly evens
      out the spread 1.76 to 0.60 and 0.30 to 1.25 s. and the plot looks
      quite convincing. Assuming a triple period (22.55 s) there are of
      course three separate bands, each showing the phase shift.
      The individual spreads of the before/after timings are now
      0.70 0.61 0.77 0.49 0.78 0.60. as opposed to 1.48 vs 1.16 0.95 s.
      With ~6-fold period (45.30 s) the largest spread is 0.67 s. but
      this has absurdly low statistical significance. with only two or
      three observations in each section. The "phase shift" was high in
      the N.

2002-017A   27409  Kosmos 2388 (Oko)
   1) Originally identified as 1993-068A.
   2) Last night at BCRC, there were a lot of clouds in the early
      evening. So we were looking in the holes for possible satellites
      and I noticed a flash up in the northeast near a bright star in
      Cassiopeia. The object turned out to be
      Cosmos 2388 (27409, 02-17A).
      It flashed to as bright as magnitude 5 over the next 40 minutes
      as it gradually moved south and the range decreased from 15000
      miles to 11000 miles. It seemed to be fading at the end as the
      sun-satellite-observer angle must have been changing to be less
      favorable.

      The last one, low in the north, was seen by Fred without binoculars
      as I watched it with my 8x42, and he estimated it as significantly
      brighter than Arcturus (alpha BOO), probably -1.
      Some of the others were quite bright as well.
  b3) Here are raw times for July 10 UTC when it was east of the zenith,
      it was much less exciting. :

  b6) had a much more favorable pass and was much brighter, but blow-off

      faint max followed by a double max of which the 1st was also faint.
      This pattern was sometimes replaced by two equal max.
      At the end all periods had equal intervals and max.

      Nice flasher.
      BJG's comment on this:
      For 02-54C. except for the 61st flash. the spread is only 0.53 s.
      2x 3x 4x period does not significantly reduce this. and there is no
      indication that either of the "secondary" series in those differ in
      phase from others. However the last 8 flashes are clearly grouped
      some 0.3 s later than the average of the middle 60 flashes. with a
      final period of perhaps 2.12 s. There is a similar cluster of the
      first 18 flashes. some 0.2 s later than the average. making the
      initial period about 1.95 s. This change is too large to be synodic
      unless the period is a large multiple. And according to my (oldish)
      elset. the middle 60% were from 22 to 54 deg alt in the N !?

  b1) The period may actually be double that, as the maxima seemed
      generally to alternate in brightness, although I failed to note
      the magnitudes. (Maybe the brightest were about +4.0, seemingly
      kind of faint for a Centaur.
  b2) Same object in better conditions, same difficulty, better match
      with listed period
  b3) Got sick of missing it in binoculars. In telescope it has a very
      complicated AMM period with sharp drop to minima

 b88) This is the high elevation part of the transit, where no flashes have
      not been timed. The flashing period of 2s.619 is obtained taking into ac-
      count the difference between 18h13m50s.56 (beginning of the following
      northbound transit) and 18h08m23s.23 (ending of the previous south-
      bound transit). The expected number of flashes is 125.

      good images of Double Star 1 (or Tan Ce 1. 28140. 03-061A) online?
      Mike reminded me that what we saw is not easy to explain given a
      cylinder covered with solar cells. While watching it. wiggling the
      telescope a little yielded multiple dots - which means multiple
      specular flashes within the duration of the wiggle. The overall
      flash period that we saw was four seconds. which corresponds with
      it spinning at 15 rpm. but there was a lot more visible than just
      a single specular flash every four seconds.
  b2) Fainter than expected by 0.5 mag; flashed brighter by 1 mag.
  b3) First 3 were double flares, with <0.2s between them!

      At that point. its direction of motion was about 225 (left and down).
      With Findsat and alldat.tle. I didn't get any obvious match.
      I didn't expect it to be an unid and so didn't get data as good as I
      would have liked.

2004-015A   28234  Express-AM 11
  b1  Jeff Umbarger wrote late on June 3:
      Saw AM-11 at 6:50:30UT at RA:15hr39min and Dec.:-5.5deg
      from Plano TX.... And it flares, with the same kind of
      pattern later and later each night. Expect to see it
      around 7UT tonight.
      I got Jeff's message at about 7:00 UTC (an hour ago) and
      rushed outside (friends' house in suburbs with nice deck,
      Milky Way now faintly visible).  When I was sure that I
      had found Express AM-11 (28234, 04-015A), it was about +4,
      at about 7:05 UTC -- at about RA 15:45.  It faded and
      brightened roughly every 8 or 9 minutes, and the brightest
      that I saw this time was at about RA 16:00, when it was
      nearly +2.0 -- as bright as the brightest stars in the
      vicinity.  The maximum at about 16:18 or 16:19 was much
      fainter.  Tonight's main event was very roughly about 90
      minutes later than only 8 nights ago -- roughly 11-plus
      minutes, on average, later from one night to the next.
  b2) For Express AM-11 (28234, 04-015A) there were magnitude +2 maxima
      this morning at about (within only about 30 seconds accuracy, if
      that, due to its slowness):
      07:16:30
      07:26:00
      07:35:30
      07:44:30
      07:55:00 - only +3.5
      08:04:30 - only about +5.5
      I first found it at about 07:07 at about +4.5.  The RA was from
      roughly 15:40 to 16:35, Dec close to -5.  The minima went to
      fainter than +7.  I was using my 10x50 binoculars but checked
      the maxima without magnification.
  b3) It gave a flash brighter then Mag 7 every 96 seconds
      The brighest flash (+5 or brighter) was at 10:01:47 UTC (Mar 19)
      I observed flashes at
      09:54:37
      09:56:59 d = 2:22 = 142
      09:58:35 d = 1:36 =  96
      10:00:11 d = 1:36 =  96
      10:01:47 d = 1:36 =  96
      10:03:23 d = 1:36 =  96
      I missed seeing the flash predicted at around 09:55:23 UTC,
      too faint to spot.
      BD: I dropped 1st maximum, giving 4 maxima with equal intervals.
  b4) KF: I observed Express AM-11 ( 28234 ) in a twlight sky.
      It never got faint enough, not to see, and then gave a bright flash,
      every approx 3 min 23 seconds.

 b12) MM's comment on b11:
      It seems clear to me that the two 6.7 timings are for 11 cycles.
      So 223.2 seconds divided by 362 cycles gives 0.6165.
      I got 70 cycles in 43.17 seconds last night to give 0.6167.

      motion since then, so there is a chance that the tumble period

  b1) The last two evenings it has been flaring to +3.5 magnitude near
      lambda Aquilae (19:06, -4.9, epoch 2000) at about 2:35-40
      (9:35-40 PM local time). This is a very long ways (about 75 degrees!)
      away from the shadow entry position! I just happened to see it by
      accident on Friday evening while looking at the neat asterism around
      lambda Aquilae. Last night the satellite was equally bright as the star,
      and both were visible without binoculars in spite of the moonlight.

      Bjorn pointed out that my obs of March 30 has a better fit with a

      I used Synodic on todays obs and 4.70 sec gives the best fit.
      So it seems that the period is still decreasing.

      Gerhard Holtkamp reported a similar optical behaviour at abot
      the same time:
      Just observed a Lacrosse 5 (2005-016A) pass from my position at 49.8822N,
      8.6558E.
      I picked it up near Psi UMa at 20:17:27 UT (13-AUG-06) at about mag 5. It
      slowly brightened to a little less than mag 4 by the time it passed Beta UMa
      at 20:18:21 UT. Between 20:18:33 and 20:18:50 it brightened by about half a
      mag but I would not call this a proper flare. Then it dimmed again to below
      mag 4 and showed a distinctly reddish color (before that it was colorless).
      I then had to reposition my scope due to local obstacles and picked up
      Lacrosse 5 again when it passed Gamma Cas at 20:21:05 UT by which time is was
      slightly brighter than Gamma Cas (let's say mag 1.5). This could have been
      part of a flare but it should have been quite bright in that part of the sky
      anyway. Some 10 or 15 seconds after that it dimmed again rather quickly to
      something like mag 4 or less and once again showed a reddish color. It stayed
      like that for the rest of the pass (I followed it for another minute or so)
      with very minute fluctuations in brightness.
  b3) I had never noticed such abrupt change in mag before, almost on/off switch.
  b4) flare between alp & betCep
  b5) Disappeared from 1x view from 1730 +31 to 1900 +3, seen in 12x60s

   1) It's 90050, and was flashing every 17 seconds,
      at Jun 23 6:05 UTC ( Jun 23 )
      It's also called 96045, in a different tle file,
      as found on Mike Mccants site
      Seems to flash along time.
      It's much shorter then that. I was using the time between bright
      flashes. I noticed fainter flashes, when I played back the video.

2006-015G   36363  Yaogan 1 debris
   1) On 04 Feb 2010 Chinese satellite Yaogan 1 (29092) made a small orbit
      trim and inexpectedly spawned three newly catalogued debris, 36363
      through 36365 with pretty high velocities of separation.
      A propulsion failure may be suspected. It is interesting to compare
      29092 with 32289 (Yaogan 3) which should be of the same type.
   2) I by luck, had 36363 pass through the feild of view, last night.
      It was bright, easily mag 7 range are brighter, and is flashing.

2005-512A
  b1) Mike Waterman:
      I may have discovered a new near-GSO secret satellite, I cant match it
      with any known satellite.
      The story: I was looking for the near-GSO 82020A on 050112 and spotted a
      bright sat flashing initially +5 each 58.5s. I timed 5 flashes, and made
      one position fix before the flashes were too faint to see.

      Later that evening I found that it was not 82020A, and not a near-GSO object.
      The motion suggested near-GSO, but high GTO was possible.

      I am not sure which 050112 flash was the position, so there are 2
      ALTERNATIVE positions below on 050112. The first one is more likely.
      My observations are below, in OTWG and IOD formats.
      9900000211505011220260828 100 13024553 -0021 004 5 +50 05850F
      9900000211505011220270666 100 13024553 -0021 004 5

  b2) Mike Waterman:
      I successfully located it on 050113, and recorded 13 flashes, 3 with
      positions; the flash period was 28.84s initially, later only alternate
      flashes were visible (ie 57.68s), similar to the period on 050112. It may
      have been flashing before 2037 UT.

      I hope that someone can check whether it really is a new object, and if so
      give it a provisional name and number.

      The following orbit uses 4 obs (ignoring the second 050112 alternative),
      it will be poor because the positions are close together in the sky.

      The orbit period suggests it is no longer operational, and the inclination
      suggests it was abandoned at least 10 years ago.
      My observations are below, in OTWG and IOD formats.
      9900000211505011320381129 050 13024101 -0056 004 5 +50INV02884F

      It is visible from Europe, Africa, and western parts of Asia.
      Positional observations, especially from observers not near me, would help
      determine the orbit. Tonight (050114) it will be visible near 84 Cetus
      (RA=02h 41m Dec=-0.7deg) from 2055(maybe earlier) to 2100, and about 15
      mins later each day. Observers x degrees South of me should look about
      x/10 more North in the sky, and those x to the east of me should look
      about x/10 degrees West.

  b3) Mike Waterman:
      8 observations made tonight, details below. It was flashing in the same
      part of the sky as on previous days (a bit further North), similar
      brightness, similar period (27.72 +-0.01s).
      Confidently predicted to be between Delta Cetus and 84 Cetus (RA=02h40m,
      Dec=0) at 2145 UT on 050117 and 17.3 minutes later per day.
      Visible to the West at least 5 minutes earlier, and to the East for about
      5 minutes after.
      It is drifting westwards in Longitude, and should be visible from
      America in about 2 weeks.

06-725GR   99906  Unidentified, observed by Greg Roberts
  b1) #99906 - interesting flashes.For most of the pass observed it
      showed minor variations in magnitude but for about two minutes,
      when the phase angle was 11-12 degrees, it flashed quite brightly
      about 2-3 magnitudes brighter. I tried to determine a period and
      the following are times of all flashes seen:
      16:58:01.3, 16:58:15.0, 16:58:33.4, 16:58:40.6, 16:58:41.0

      16:59:03.3, 16:59:09.2, 16:59:09.7, 16:59:17.6, 16:59:34.6
      16:59:35.0, 16:59:35.5, 16:59:49.0, 16:59:49.4, 16:59:50.0
      generally there would be a gap of quite a few seconds then two
      or three bright flashes in succession spaced approximately 0.4 to
      0.5 seconds. Not all flashes were of equal brightness.

      Tandem X flaring in the zenith, to about mag +1 at about
      17:01:15 UTC, give or take a second or 10.
      I captured the decsending part of the flare on photograph
      (starting just a few seconds after the flare peak),
	two very nice parallel trails close together, the
      leading one slightly brighter. Will post picture URL later.

   1) At 0906UTC on 10 Sep I observed a few flashes corresponding
      in time and direction to Direct TV 10 Briz-M ring tank.
      Flashes were untimed but had no apparent pattern.
      Tumbling maybe? I hope this is of interest.

2009-013A   34602   GOCE
   1) Flares occur consistently when the angle observer-sun- sat flight
      direction is 93 degrees (which is within a few seconds of local
      culmination). Mis distance to the central flare path doesn't seem
      much of a factor: they are always of order +2 to +3 magnitude.
      They are nice to watch: as GOCE is very fast due to its low orbit,
      they almost look like meteors.
   2) On the 10th of January I have observed a bright flare from the
      GOCE (09-013A) satellite.
      The flare was very short, red like Aldebaran, and at its
      maximum, I am quite sure, even brighter than the star.
      I would estimate the magnitude to about 0.5 or even 0.
      The flare occurred at 16:52:31  0.5 s (UTC) on 10/01/2010.
      By using a Vertical-Along Track coordinate system, the
      flaring surface orientation should be defined by:
         Angle: 93.4 +- 0.3
         Tilt: 22.6
      These angles are consistent with those already obtained by
      Marco Langbroek.
      If these results are correct, they may indicate that the
      satellite is actually stabilized about 3.5 degrees off the
      orbit plane and toward the sun direction.
      I have created a workspace for predicting future GOCE flares.
      The file along with a few more details can be found at the
      following link:

      "It seemed to reach mag 8 range, as it got ready to

      Mike was watching it and commenting that it was getting brighter
      and brighter. So I looked with my 8x42 binoculars and soon found
      it. And it kept getting even brighter.  Our consensus was that it
      reached +1.5 (one magnitude brighter than nearby alpha Ceti) for
      a minute or maybe two. That was around 3:11 UTC when it was in
      the vicinity of RA 2:45, Dec. -7.5.  It soon got too faint for my
      binoculars before it entered the shadow, but Mike followed it
      with his scope.
      This flare was quite a surprise! Presumably it is just like a

      The other images were too saturated (trail too bright).
      Flash interval is wildly variable, between 0.23-0.77 seconds,
      with an average 0.39 +- 0.14 seconds.
      Looking at it closely, and trying some fits, it looks like that
      in my 14 Aug image #9 brightness diagram, all peaks (main and
      secondary/tertiary) fit an approximate ~0.24s to ~0.25s periodicity.
   8) Last night I took a series of  6 consecutive photos in a field in Aquila.
      All photos were of 4 sec duration. In all the photos, a same flashpattern
      seems rather obvious : 1 bright maximum followed by 2 secondary maxima.
      At times both secondary maxima merge together. The brightest flash is
      very sharp and also variable in magnitude. It can be at times definitely
      fainter. I derived a photometric period of  0.73 sec, respectively:
      0.727 0.729 0.728 0.723 for the 4 photos with a complete 4-sec track.
   9) With only two exceptions (where secondary peaks are missing/not pronounced),
      if I take each third peak in the sequence,
      I get a period of 0.73 +- 0.03 seconds, exactly what you found.
      The two exceptions (marked * in below table), themselves are intervals close
      to this: 0.77 and 0.68 seconds. This suggest two submaxima are missing inbetween
      two major peaks in these cases.
      table: peak nr; seconds after 20:51:00 UTC; interval between these peaks (s).

      secondary maxima tend to have intervals of about 0.27s and 0.46s, in that
      stereotype order: so a "main" peak in the 0.73 cycle, followed by a 0.27s
      separated peak, followed by a 0.46s separated peak (the both together
      creating the 0.73s cycle).
  10) Comment form GR:
      At first I thought how could it have a triple pattern?  If it is rotating
      every .73 seconds you would see 4 spikes not 3 because nanosail has 4 sails
      like a pie sliced into 4 equal pieces.  Then I thought - well if one sail
      was missing it would have 3 spikes but still there would be a "hole" in the
      pattern when the dark sale came by yet the pattern is equally spaced 3
      spikes per grouping.
      Then I realized the answer.  The sail is rotating 4 times slower - .73*4 or
      2.92 seconds per rotation.
      Looking at your data again and looking at the waveform as though it should
      repeat every 4 red triangles the pattern repeats much more consistently!
      The curves and angles of the 4 sails are similar but different and distinct.
      You can see when the same sail comes by 4 red triangles later.  Especially
      obvious when you include the yellow triangles in the pattern.  Also your
      faint gray lines seem to have more useful information than the averaged

1956-001A   Unid-gso by EC
   1) On 29 October I saw a bright flashing geosynch with
      a flash period of about 78.5 seconds.  I could not
      find a good match, although at one point it was
      very close to GStar 2.  Here are two rough points:
      03:40:17, RA 21:56, Dec either -17.7 or -18.1
      03:46:49, RA 22:02, Dec -17.2
      One problem for me with positions is that I'm using
      handheld 8x42 binoculars; another is that I tend to
      rapidly forget on which side of stars I saw something.
      Beyond that, for the above, I'm also going back more
      than a week to what I scribbled on the paper in the
      dark.
      See further 2)
   2) ANYway, tonight it seems that I again saw what may
      have been the same object.  I first saw it due to a
      1x flash of at least mag. +2.0.   Its flash period
      was about 77.5 seconds, and before it disappeared
      they alternated bright-faint, so about 155 seconds.
      (By the way, GStar 2 was long gone tonight.)  So
      here are two rough positions for 8 Nov 2010 UTC:
      2:22:31, RA 22:31, -10.4
      2:41:53, RA 22:50, -10.5
      This time LES 9 (08747) and BSat 1-B (25312) are
      fairly close matches, but neither of them was there
      on 29 Oct.
	The BCRC site's coordinates are 30.315N, 97.866W.
