On may 10 & 11, Ron Welch of Canberra Australia observed a high slow moving object which he considered was a Centaur rocket. He communicated these observations to me my smail, since he can only use webmail and that only occasionally. Mike Mccant was kind enough to calculate an orbit. With this I made observations of it on May 19 which revised the orbit slightly and it was on time for this orbit tonite. Its mag 5.5 at ranges of 4800Km so should be very obvious near perigee. I suspect this IS the abandoned Milstar3 Tony Beresford Milstarlatest 1 99010U 99139.43272912 .00000000 00000-0 00000+0 0 02 2 99010 28.3800 241.2335 2130000 63.6428 296.3566 9.66794000 05
