On 15 March 2021 at 11:36 UT (5:36 AM MDT local) I observed
the objects from yesterday's launch at 10:01 UT.  They were
in the southeast, 27 degree elevation pass that just exited
Earth shadow and heading north.  Constellation Aquila

Brightness was similar to the previous launch so ballpark
3-5 to 5.  As before, they were not a uniform brightness.  I
did need the 7x50 binoculars.  I looked visually after acquiring
them and believe that I saw the procession but it was not obvious.

I mentally timed the time to pass a star at 11 seconds.

I did not see a solitary preceding objects like with the
previous launch.

Nothing unusual seen and again not a great pass as others have seen.

Thanks again to Dr T.S. Kelso for providing the element sets and
Chris Peat for having them for predictions on heavens-above.com.
