I would think, but correct me someone if I am wrong, that he >in CA and me in NJ could not see the same object at the same time???? Penny & Aaron, you do not see the same pass of 99 39B that evening. Predictions for Aaron's site show a good , though not perfect pass two orbits later. For Aaron this came out of shadow in the South, a consequence of his lower latitude. The other obvious flasher 93 20J made a high elevation pass a little to the west of 99 39B. Apart from a 25 degree difference in inclinations, the distinguishing characteristics are the flash period, which can be checked from recent seesat postings. Tony Beresford u.t. Alt az R.A.
