Recent comments on seeing unexpected satellites were spectacularly hammered home this morning! My wife and I watched Mir pass (04:04 EDT=08:04 UT) and while waiting for STS-84 (which made a fine pass at 04:17 EDT), we saw an extremely bright (brighter than Vega, fainter than Jupiter) "unknown" (at the time, to us) object pass through our zenith heading towards the SE. (Later checking revealed it to be 23596= 95-028A= Cosmos 2313; we last saw it intentionally in August and October 1995 at apparent magnitudes +2 to 3) Clear and dark skies! Ed Light Edward S.
