Just observed an ORBCOMM at 12:10 UT 27 Dec 97. I used an 8" telescope just in case, although it would have been easy to see in 7x50 binoculars at magnitude 6-6.5. The only odd thing is that I only saw one object. According to fresh elsets, 5 objects should have been on a nearly identical track separated in time by 40 seconds. The remaining three should have followed two minutes later a few tenths of a degree higher (in declination). Ron Lee
