I am forwarding a request for help with an UnID. Thanks for any assistance, Cheers, Dan Laszlo =================================================================== I am a corporate pilot. The other night I was returning from a trip through the Far East and observed a very interesting object. In the sky to the southeast, I saw a blinking light with a period of about 20 seconds. Keep in mind that I was 41,000 feet and this object was above me and about 10 degrees above the horizon. This coupled with the fact that aircraft stobe lights blink with a much faster period tends to rule-out other aircraft as the source of the light. In addition, I have been observeing satellites for many years and have never seen any that emitted light of their own (let alone any that blink). In addition, satellites that I have observed move in fairly predictable directions (mostly to the northwest) and fairly quickly with respect to the stars in any field of view. This object moved very little, if any. I observed the light for about 20 minutes before it faded and dissappeared. My position at the time was N18 28.7, W165 32.8 on the track between Majuro and Hawaii. The Zulu time and date was 04 March, 13:29. My direction of flight was 055 degrees true course, which would have put the object on a 135 bearing from my cockpit. I am a novice and am probably using the wrong positional terms, but my best guess of the celestial position would put the object above Sagittarius and to the right of Scutum, in the vicinity of M24. Again, I am extremely familiar with the dynamics of aircraft lighting systems and the general appearance of aircraft at night from great distances. In addition, any aircraft in that vicinity would have been on the same High- Frequency channel on which I was operating. We were the only airplane within 500 miles. The likelihhod that this object was another airplane is very low. My address is AV8NVegas@AOL.com. My name is Jim and I live the Dallas area. I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
