    Hi,
    
    During a (failed) attempt to image USA 125 on May 9th, I captured what appears 
    to be a UNID.
    
    It is a very short trail, HEO-like, with some suggestion it is prat of a flash 
    peak. It is visible on only one (out of 5) image of 10.05s exposure.
    
    Depending on the (unknown) direction of movement, coordinates for the trail ends 
    are either:
    
    00000 00 000A   4353 G 20100509224902300 17 75 1338456+496160 56
    00000 00 000A   4353 G 20100509224912350 17 75 1338586+496600 56
    
    or:
    
    00000 00 000A   4353 G 20100509224902300 17 75 1338487+496590 56
    00000 00 000A   4353 G 20100509224912350 17 75 1338554+496150 56
    
    The object is not USA 125 (both wrong position and wrong direction).
