Dear all,
After recent reports of USA 32 displaying unusual flash patterns I
decided to take a look at it, and it certainly is. Observed it
flashing last night (24/5) around 21:54UT, object was not naked eye
visible for the majority of the pass but when it was visible it was
sparkling orange, I've never seen anything like it. No way of
determining any kind of pattern for such rapid flashes. Unusual
behaviour - well worth checking this object out. I wonder what part
of the structure is causing this behaviour - is USA 32 tumbling?
Sorry unable to get hold of Spacecom ID for this object at the moment.
Best regards
Matt Fawcett
