At 04:43:50 12 May UTC +/-2 sec, Image Del r #26114 00017B passed almost directly in front of Mufrid in Bootes. Moving fast and at mag 2. Then a couple of minutes later, after shielding my view of the Moon with my roof, i saw USA 129 #24680 96072A at mag 3 come out of the Moon's glare. But i didn't get an accurate time as it passed in between a couple of bright stars just to the right (North) of the Moon because i had just finished watching Image Del r go by, turned and there it was. However since i know where due West is, at 04:46:11 UTC +/- 2 sec USA 129 was at Az 270 deg El 42 deg. This elset was used: USA 129 1 24680U 96072A 00130.88160880 .00021086 00000-0 30083-3 0 04 2 24680 97.9002 194.5027 0514477 105.0203 260.8524 14.74496207 07 Earlier i observed Iridium 85 tum #25529 98066C make a 1x pass, mag 3 all the way but only one flash, a -1 mag was seen as it headed South and it had a distinct orange colour to it.
