Within +- 2 min to allow for prediction errors, and a 30 deg. FOV I find 57 satellites (in all sizes and ranges), among them : 90907 Unknown 990907 4.0 2.0 0.0 6.0 25035 USA 136 Cent r 8.6 3.0 0.0 3.5 24680 USA 129 23031 USA 102 26970 Molniya 3-52 15909 Molniya 3-25 25485 Molniya 1-91 09880 Molniya 1-36 23204 Glonass 66 (775) 15147 Cosmos 1586 Certainly USA 129 is known to produce such flares, even in the NNW, probably the Molniyas and USA 102, possibly the others listed, and some not listed here. Do you have a more accurate position, direction of motion, or speed that warrant limitation to 2-3 objects ?
