Tonight at 17:04 UT I observed 88-1 A and it was almost S, magnitude 3. There were very slight brightness differances, but unmeasurable. At 17:17 UT I saw two very bright flashes, mag -1 to -2, about 5 seconds apart near Gamma Cas (RA 01:00 d +62); the satellite remained almost S, magnitude 6 afterwards and moved towards RA 18:00 d + 74. I've no timing between these points. I've not been able yet to identify this satellite. ------------------------------------- Name: Leo Barhorst E-mail: leobarhorst@pi.net -------------------------------------
