Hi Scott, I've seen this sat before: IRS-P2 3.0 2.0 2.0 6.3 d 6.5 (#23323U) twice in fact and both times the flashing was more like flares and my timing was very inacurate for I did not have any stopwatch with me at the time, so I just counted one one thousand one, one one thousand two, and so on, and I got a flare every four seconds. This was pulled from my notes: 3/21/03, 10:13 PM (Germany). Flashing once every 4 seconds very orange to red flashes are slow, more like flares than flashes. Very unique flares. I can't wait to get another look at this one with a stopwatch! See ya!

It was nearly invisible in my binoculars but it flared 5 times within a matter of 15 seconds. Am I correct in my identification? Is this known to flash or flare like this? > > Scott Dalton > 39.6731 -75.7239 > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' > in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org > List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html > ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
