    Greetings all,
    
    Started the evening looking for Gorizont 17 (89-004A), and quickly found it flashing around 03:44:31 UTC.  While timing Gorizont 17, I also managed to get in a number of clicks on Superbird A (89-041A).  Within the same field of view, I spotted another flasher with a 2.5 second period.   Flashes were observed from 04:13 to 04:17 UTC, and were about mag. 7 at best.  I managed one rough position measurement:
    
    2005/08/06  04:16:00 UTC;  RA 15:21.2  Dec -06.1
    
    Wasn’t able to ID this one.
