Last night I decided to check up on UFO F9, ie 96113. I had the mount track the sat, and I
captured the video for playback this morning, after getting home from work.

At around 3:43:57 UTC, UFO F9 slowly flashed to 6th magnitude range. The flash lasted a few
seconds.

The sat was close, to it's predicted position using this tle.

1 96113U          08104.67804627  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    06

All I noticed from it, was the one slow flash.
