Thanks very much to Mike for letting me know about this one (as I was otherwise occupied for the evening)! Three of my friends and I watched it go over. It seemed to me to be varying somewhat, on the order of several seconds perhaps. I only saw one object, although checking now I find that the platform (27428, 02023C) was predicted to be only seconds later and even lower. I don't know what the platform's size is. I have a couple of poor, very low height (i.e., 128-136 km), in-shadow predictions for the platform in a few hours, but it's cloudy outside now (low, sea-breeze clouds as are very common here in the spring and summer months).
