Dear Allister, Using ALLDAT from MAY 23 , I got the following within RA 11H25 to 13H= 25 and +52 to 62 deg.: 85040D (Molniya rocket body) 01H20 UTC: 12H51 + 61.4 ( B1950) Too far from DELTA UMA , and not capable to produce a mag+3.3 flare,= so I think that this bright flare is coming from a classified NRO = satellite ( SDS or TRUMPET ). = Dan Karcher , 101672,3140@compuserve.com = =
