    Ernie Underhay of Oakview, California is seeking assistance in identifying
    an object that he saw transit Jupiter last night. Here are the details:
    
    Date: 2004 June 2
    Time: 04:09 UTC (time is +/- about 2 minutes)
    Latitude: 34.40000 (34 24' 00") N
    Longitude: 119.29916 (119 17' 57") W
    Elevation: 157 M (480 feet)
    Equipment: 55mm flourite refractor, Wratten #8 filter, 65X maginification
    
    ===================
    
    Note, the date must be incorrect. Should be June 1 (??)
    
    The following:
    
     CBERS 1 r Db C   3.0  2.0  0.0  6.0 d  8.3
     1 25942U 99057C   04147.58541736  .00000179  00000-0  75378-4 0  8975

    came close, but did not transit Jupiter. I did not use ALLDAT so there may
    be other possibilities.
