Last night at 5:33, a flashing unid geo sat, are something in a high orbit, was spotted. I only noticed this morning when I played back the video. Since I quit observing Galaxy 11 ( 26038 ) which the unid was in the area of, to observe Thaicom 3 ( 24768 ) which flashed neaby, I won't have any more obs on the unid geo sat. At around 5:33 UTC, the unid flashing object passed close to a star in the tycho star catalog called TYC 5491 35 located at RA (J2000.0): 10 24 24.92 declination -07 35 17.1 Milstar 6 would have passed by the area, around that timne, gice are take a bit, using a orbit with a epoch of Feb 4. But It shouldn't be the unid object, as milstar 6 was in a stable orientation last time I obsereved it awhile ago, don't remember when. The flash lasted a few seconds, so slow rotating object.
