Hello everybody,
     While observing at 0908UT on 30Jul08 from 32.87S 151.7E I observed
a flash just north of zeta Ophiucus. Using binoculars I was able to see
a satellite moving eastward and two subsequent flashes. The flashes were
about magnitude 4 with a constant period in the order of 5 seconds
(untimed). The satellite itself was approximately magnitude 6. Later
reference to H-A and CalSky revealed no corresponding object down to
magnitude 8.any assistance in identifying this object would be
appreciated.
