All I can is wow !

Ekran 18 ( 19090 ) is slowly flaring around 1 minute, from mag 10 to mag 7. I call it a flare, as
no quick flash of light, ie flashing sat.

So it's faint, then gets nice and bright, then faint again.

Being doing that for 20 minutes.

Time is 7:24 UTC ( Apr 3 )

Sat around 

14 h 48 m R.A
-9 deg 46 min Dec

Being capture on video.
