I see at 5:22:35 the unid flahing object, formed a line between 2 magnitude 7 stars. It was around 10 h 14 m R.A -7 deg 39 min Dec At the time. So it has a path close to what milstar 6 takes. Using mikes intergrated tle file http://www.io.com/~mmccants/tles/inttles.zip Milstar 6 is predicted to be close to where, the flares are seen. I have the rotten feeling milstar 6 had lost orientation:( Either that are it's something in a similar orbit, I like that option better. For a failure of milstar is bad, no more flares from it's main body I have seen. Sure it's flaring now, for 1 minute give are take, diappears, then awhile later flares up again. Hard to call it flashing what I have seen, as it gets as bright as mag 7, for roughly 1 minute. It's a expensive satellite, I beleive. I hope it something else.
