    Two Iridium were around UMa about that time - Iridiums
    81 and 64.  At 23:38:22 Iridium 81 flared to a +2 mag
    but well to the left of UMa. 
    
    Spot 2 was also in that area of the sky.  Ed Cannon
    reported a flare from SPOT 2 in July, 1999:

    IMO that is the more likely candidate - entering UMa at
    about 23:44 local.
