I was not able to find the object in binoculars, but saw two more flash pairs at 22:34:38.6 and 22:35:00.8 No positions obtained because of the bright sky, but I got the impression that the inclination was at least 98 degrees (going in the same direction as USA 161) KitSat 3 #25756 99-029 A matches quite well, but I had no idea it would flash brightly. At about 22:20 I saw a bright UNID descending from RA 14:52 dec.+29 in DIR 185 rel.to the vertical. Position and time match Meteor 1-7, 71-003 A, but its DIR is more like 210 degrees. -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
