It appears that I did see this unknown again. The two closest of Björn's element sets, in that they gave the closest predictions to what I saw, appear to be these: Ed050716 37 RMS=0.23 orbits MM=2.65121599 1 31697U 05697A 05197.07504393 .00000083 00000-0 93947-3 0 05 2 31697 27.5663 191.4049 6832232 137.0266 254.1707 2.65121599 02 Ed050716 38 RMS=0.23 orbits MM=2.72286372 1 31697U 05697A 05197.07504393 .00000089 00000-0 93947-3 0 01 2 31697 27.5451 191.0341 6776665 137.5396 251.2686 2.72286372 07 Those are from http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jul-2005/0197.html Based on the predictions that I got from those, and its observed magnitude of about +5.5 in Sagitta and Delphinus, its Quicksat intrinsic magnitude is about +3.0. I was pretty sure that I saw it do two or three little flashes. The sky only cleared enough to even go outside to try about 10 to 15 minutes before the observation.
