Ed Cannon posted: >Last night I saw one flashing brighter than Spica at about 3:27-37 I observed Telstar 401 (22927, 93 77A) last night and it matched Ed's description. I measured a flash period of 83.53 seconds. This is 10 seconds smaller than what I measured last year. I observed Telstar 401 from 03:26 until 03:54. It was not as bright as Ed reported at 03:26 and it gradually faded, so I assume that it was brighter before 03:26. At 03:26, the bright flashes were about magnitude 4. Alternate bright flashes had a magnitude 7 flash about 3 seconds before them.
