I was not sure how to interpret them, although multiples of about five seconds can make a rough fit. At the "9.79**" click it flashed to at least +1 magnitude. start, 1:13:27.21 -- 20.35, 5.10, 9.79**, 14.95, 28.16, 5.94, 15.65 -- end, 1:15:07.15 On the sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe newsgroup there's a message (Dec 22, from Charles F. Radley) requesting obs of 27605-27609 (02-058 A through E), mentioning that one of them, Transorbital's Trailblazer "structural test article" is octagonal.
