STRELA R/B 03055B 28099 was the unknown seen approx. 3 mag moving fast, .91 degree/second 10 degree under Dubhe, alpha ursa major, at 11.22.15 UTC Jan. 4, 2008. I normally do not observe in morning, but was outside before work taking 5 minutes to watch for meteors. Saw one. I also normally do not report unknowns that I have identified unless they are a first time sighting for me. This object is fast and bright. It has an apogee of 226 miles and a perigee of 206 miles. On Jan. 15, 2005 when I observed this object it had an apogee of 267 miles and a perigee of 232 miles. When will it come down? Later I will dust off SatEvo to find the answer. Lat. 39.4707 Lon. -79.3388 Alt. 2753 ft. -5 UTC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
