    An unusually clear night, but I failed to see USA 161 on Ted's "Russ" elset or mine.
    Unfortunately, the observation interval was only -2/+15 minutes on Ted's, and -17/+0 on 
    mine.
    
    But at 22.35 UTC I saw two extreme (-8? and very short) flashes within five degrees of chi 
    Draconis, and 10-15 s from each other.
    If I detected any motion, it was NB, but the only Iridium close was going S seven minutes 
    before?
    
    USA 161?                                                 309 X 947 km
