We saw a brightly flashing west-to-east object, period 2.47 seconds, +2.0 maxima. I got this rough position: 2003-06-11 03:02:23 RA 16:11:50, Dec -10.2 (2000) At that point, its direction of motion was about 225 (left and down). With Findsat and alldat.tle, I didn't get any obvious match. I didn't expect it to be an unid and so didn't get data as good as I would have liked. I think Mike got a position and may ID it. I made up a fake PPAS report for it: 03-662 A 03-06-11 03:02:04.5 EC 61.8 0.4 25 2.47 +2.0->inv unid? A few real PPAS reports: IGS Fairing 2 (27703) -- 03-009 F 03-06-11 04:25:02 EC 63.2 0.3 5 12.6 Intelsat 4-4 Rk (05816) -- 72-003 B 03-06-11 04:48:04.5 EC 62.9 0.3 40 1.57 seen with Mike's telescope, Ariane 2 Debris (27593) -- 88- 40 C 03-06-11 04:22:22 EC 43.9 0.5 16 2.74 ISS made two passes again. There was a pretty good pass of the new Progress module, about 8 minutes after ISS. BCRC observing site: 30.316N, 97.866W, 280m.
