    I can ad to Gerhard's report that I observed the same pass.
    
    I first tried to pick it up at 20:07:00 when it should have been visible close 
    to alpha Persei, but it was not visible (not naked eye, and not on the 
    photographs).
    
    It then suddenly appeared at about 20:08:50 UTC just past Polaris, very bright 
    and yellowish (mag. +1 to 0). It was gone again approximately 20 seconds later, 
    completely invisible again.
    
    I will try to cover the 21:50 UTC pass as well.
