2003-03-09.
I just went out to check whether a geostationary satellite would be bright
enough
to be found by me using 7 x 50 binoculars.
Accidentally I saw mag. +5 flashes with an FP of almost exactly 1 second
(estimated).
The time was 22:52 UT and the object was at about RA 10h36m dec -8° as seen
from
my regular observation location. The flashes disappeared after I saw five or
so
flashes.

Is this the same object?

Bram Dorreman,
COSPAR 4160 (Achel 1):
51° 16' 45.5" N (51.2793 N),
5° 28' 36.6" E (5.4768 E)
