    I was able to observe Superbird A last night.
    I observed flashes from about 3:01:00 until about 3:05:30 UT
    using 10x42 binoculars.  The period was just under 11.0/22.0 seconds.
    The "phase shift" time (equal brightness from both phases every
    11 seconds) was about 3:03:30 UT.
    
    But I think last night was Dec. 31 UT.
    
    It will flash about 1 minute later each night.
