    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.
