subject: USA-32 greatly flashing (still) ________________________________________ I observed yesterday July 8, 21:42 UTC occasional USA 32/Singlet SBWASS R1 (19460 1988-078-A) while it passed S-N and 84 degrees elev N. Until culmination it appeared quite steady, but after its pass through the East, flasing became visible and apparently increased more to the East. This is likely due to observing angle differences. But flashing was in an incredible pattern and very fast (far below 1 second). Now that I'm aware of the special behaviour of this object, I will look forward to get some telescopic images of it during a next pass to see if we can unveil anything.
