I observed USA 129 (no timing etc) at 20:38 UT on the 19th Aug using a prediction from Chris Peats site. I also observed a 10-15 second brightening of this object as it passed under Cassiopeia, also with a distinct orange-yellow hue. I note fom the recent BWGS program that USA 129 is listed as flashing. pj Sheffield UK 53.3830N 1.4660 W ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
