Observed Superbird A (20040, 89-041A) flashing from about 
3:47:59 until about 3:55:35 August 1 UTC (about RA 15:01 
to 15:09, epoch 2000; did see one flash before first click).

Observed Gorizont 17 (19765, 89-004A) flashing, with all
half-period secondaries visible (with 8x42 binoculars), 
from about 5:38 to 5:59 UTC, with total flash period under 
68 seconds.

It was a very pretty evening at the BCRC site, with the 
Milky Way faintly visible and a number of meteors seen.
