Superbird A (89-041A, 20040) on December 15, 2005 UTC. I'm not sure which of these two PPAS reports is technically correct. (I think that since it begins with three 22+ second cycles, probably 22+ seconds is the actual flash period. The PPAS data-entry software decided on two versus three decimal places in the flash period.) 89- 41 A 05-12-15 03:05:15.7 EC 243.3 0.1 11 22.12 +3.5->i 89- 41 A 05-12-15 03:05:15.7 EC 243.3 0.1 22 11.058 +3.5->i Timings (UTC): ----- 3:01:12.44 22.02 3:01:34.46 22.08 3:01:56.54 22.13 3:02:18.67 11.12 3:02:29.79 10.96 3:02:40.75 11.15 3:02:51.90 11.01 3:03:02.91 11.08 3:03:13.99 11.08 3:03:25.07 11.10 3:03:36.17 11.01 3:03:47.18 11.07 3:03:58.25 11.09 3:04:09.34 11.07 3:04:20.41 11.03 3:04:31.44 11.05 3:04:42.49 11.11 3:04:53.60 11.11 3:05:04.71 11.01 3:05:15.72 I was puzzled that it didn't end with at least one 22-second cycle. I believe that the third flash may have been the very brightest one. It was observed from the Ney Museum site, 30.307N, 97.727W, 150m, using the 8x42 binocular.
