Greetings, While watching ISS rise at roughly Jun 20 05:25:30 UTC tonight, I caught a very bright flashing sat out of the corner of my eye. It was roughly in the vicinity of Tau Virginis, near Saturn and Spica. The flashes were very bright, almost dazzling, similar to Iridium flares, but very short duration. The flash period was roughly 5-6 seconds. After about 5 flashes, the sat grew faint and I lost it after turning my attention back to the ISS pass. I could detect no movement between flashes. My location at the time was 48.41 N, 122.28 W Heavensat only gave me a couple of Milstar sats as possibilities, but those didn't seem likely. Does anyone know what I might have seen? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
