Kevin Fetter's video shot on March 10 UTC shows a very bright pass of Starlink-1203 (http://satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2021/0084.html). I observed the satellite visually on the next two days and found it to be about 2 magnitudes brighter than expected. I also located an even brighter observation made with the Russian MMT observatory back on December 17. Richard Cole suggested that Starlink-1203 is dead and not under control ( http://satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2021/0085.html). In that regard, I noticed that it is slightly lower in elevation than the satellites which precede and follow it.
