Hi list, Sorry for the "I saw something..." but my satellite prediction software has fallen horribly behind lately and Heavens-Above didn't seem to have this one: Last night (6 July 03 22:20 ADT =3D 7 July 03 01:20 GMT) I saw a very bright fast moving tumbler about 45deg up in the SE heading SE (departing Lyra/Hercules area), would have likely been at culmination in NE at 70-80 deg 15 seconds earlier. It flared/tumbled to -0.5 mag then to >+2.5 and back to about 0 with a 5-8 second period I think. I couldn't get my stopwatch going on it because I didn't see the next period. I was taking a late supper break from the lab and was in the middle of the university campus in this largely rural area - limiting magnitude about +2.5 at time of sighting. Site was Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada +45.883 -64.350 +25m. Whatever it was, it was fast! Thanks for any help identifying this one, -Tyler ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
