thanks jeff now I have found my error for "unidentified object #2:" at first glance, I thought it was cosmos 1943 rocket (my suspicion was correct) but then I mistook aquila for cygnus on the detailed star chart for the pass given on heavens-above. I mistook the eagle for the swan, how typical of me, and decided it couldn't be cosmos 1943 because judging (erroneously) by the detailed star chart, cosmos 1943 rocket passed through the UPPER portion of cygnus, passing near delta cygni, and doing so nearly 2 minutes before the one I observed (in reality it WAS cosmos 1943 rocket, and I mistook deneb el okab (zeta aquilae) for delta cygni.) this leaves only "unidentified object #1," the bright flaring object near albireo at 03:25:55 UTC plus or minus 5 seconds. mag -4. help me out, people. also, thanks for the tip for the URL tweak for predictions to mag 5, jeff! maybe texans aren't as dumb as they look ;) too bad it doesn't go further up than 5.
