Hey All,
Tonight (June 30, 5:51UT) saw a brilliant
flashing satellite that did not show up on
Heavens-Above. It paralleled the "underside" of Ursa
Major's "Big Dipper" handle (roughly west from my
perspective). It was going towards the North or
North-Northwest from the West-Southwest and had
already culminated. It's flashing period was around 10
sec. It was flashing as bright as -3 for a couple of
periods. What could it be? I'm always amazed to see
satellites at this late in the night (40 minutes
before local midnight).
