    Because of a flare I observed, which seemed to match where milstar 6 would be then.
    
    I have observed milstar 6 many many times, and this was unexpected of it. It was weird as I could
    normally easily see milstar 6, on many other days. So when I observed the flare, I thought it had
    failed, so was slowly rotating to cause the flare.
    
    Here's the video, it's 12 MB in size.

    You will see milstar 6 go from being faint, to bright, then back to faint again.
    
    You will also see a flash of THAICOM 3
