    Superbird A
    20040 89041A 
    
    Gorizont 16 
    19397 88071A
    
    The phase shift (the part of the flashing period when both reflecting surfaces are nearly equally bright) last night was at 03:47:00 UTC 28 January and on 03:48:00 UTC 29 January for Superbird A.
    
    Apparently I was seeing the half-peroid flashes for Gorizont 16 (Ed Cannon reported a flash period of 109.88 seconds earlier this month). For the record - the half-period flashes were closer to 10.5 mag.
