    Me and the person who was sat observing with me, easily spotted the APT ( 28770 ) as it passes by,
    a few degrees from vega at around 2:51 UTC ( July 30 ).
    
    The Brazilsat B3 geo sat (  25152 ) gave a flare last night.
    
    At 5:35 UTC ( July 30 ) it was in the Mag 8 range. Only got bright for a short time, in less then
    5 minutes could I see it. The sky was bright, due the moon.
