My not-yet-quite-quantified impression is that bouts of passes with "disappearance tricks" interchange with bouts of "normal" passes. I cannot quite make sense of it yet. I made a small survey of reports on the phenomena. So far, at least 7 observers seem to have reported the Lacrosse 5 sudden fainting phenomenon in the period March '06 - August '06: * Ed Cannon * Ted Molczan (who refers to Greg & Russell as well, seesat messsage March 3) * me * Pierre Neirinck * John Locker * Bram Dorreman * Nikolay Oleinikov The interesting point is that the phenomena seems to be really unique to Lacrosse 5, it is apparently not shown by the other Lacrosses: at least I have never seen these do it (I regularly do see them flare though), nor have I seen reports by others on it. This although the Lacrosses are the main focus of my observing program. This mystery has grabbed me, it begs solving. Somewhere in the vaults of Cheyenne Mountain someone is laughing his/her butt of about our confusion.... ;-) - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
