The object certainly had me fooled so it must be a real UFO. Too sharp to be a bird, no flashing lights of an aeroplane etc so it bites the dust. (2) Im not reporting the other 29 satellites seen as not of any real interest to anyone and Im too lazy to type them into IOD FORMAT. (3) Ive given two times for the one position of #21808 - I cant decide whether I wrote down 54.1 or 54.7 seconds in the time of observation- sloppy handwriting but better than any medical doctors :-)) Cheers Greg _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
