I have received private emails from a couple folks. Bjorn Gimle gave me three possible ID's plus images from Skymap. I should have mentioned in my post that my timings were not precise. The watch I referenced was not calibrated so accounting for that, the timing differences for the possible ID's from Bjorn would fit fine. Looking at the charts provided, 25910 GLOBALSTAR M055 matches my first pass, and 10491 COSMOS 963 matches my second pass. I also recieved an email from Brian Hunter suggesting that my first object was indeed 2004 XP14. But as I detailed in my reply to him, in short, wrong direction too bright too fast (crossed 30x view in only 1 second) Sky & Telescopes charts for LA had XP14 passing closer to Delta Cas. I was only looking at Gamma Cas because that's where Cartes du Ciel predicted the track, and 30 minutes behind S&T's charts. Unfortunately I don't do enough sat watching anymore to even bother keeping updated TLE's. About all I do is try to catch the occasion Iridium flare. Thank you both for helping!
