    Comment on the 1st set:
    This set consisted of double flashes every 22.57 seconds.  The 
    double flashes were about 0.25 sec apart.  The reported time 
    was typically between the double flashes. 
    
    Comment on the second set:
    Phase Shift at 03:05:30 UTC but the flashes from 03:04 to
    03:07 were all 0 mag or brighter.  Bjorn Gimle's predicted
    phase shift of 03:02 UTC for 17 May UTC (which translates to
    about 03:05 UTC for 20 May) turned out to be extremely
    accurate. Thanks, Bjorn.
