    It seems that I had come to a wrong conclusion and that in fact
    STP-R1 (28871, 05-037A, a.k.a. "Streak") is still under control, 
    because in the last few weeks it has gained significant kinetic 
    energy -- something not consistent with an out-of-control, 
    naturally decaying object.
    
    However, just as Daniel mentioned for his location, here the 
    passes are now in late morning twilight and also at poor phase 
    angles.
    
    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 minutes
    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.
