I observed Cosmos 2335 #24670 about 1.5 degrees above Merek in Ursa Major at
00:39:10 +/- 1 sec 25 Dec UT using this elset:

Cosmos 2335      6.0  0.0  0.0  4.2 v            324 x 204 km

I did not time it's tumble rate but it wasn't by any means flashing, just a
slow steady roll. Checking my notes of my previous sighting of C 2335 at
00:42:25 24 Dec UT, the time and location was in error however i did
correctly record that it passed directly due north of my location 00:43:03
+/- 1 sec 24 Dec UT.

Also despite a predicted magnitude 2.8 pass of Lacrosse 2 r #21148 at
00:59:44 25 Dec UT, i did not see it between 00:56:00 and 01:03:00.
