hi all, sort of new here, but I have watched sats for many moons. Made a point to get out and see the for the x-37b for the first time tonight. Took my cue from HA... Thanks Chris. At the correct time, I had a little trouble finding it, that is until it flared up nice and bright for about 3 seconds. Mag -2 or so. Real bright, and dim, then gone. I lost it for about 20 seconds or so, and caught it again, much dimmer, mag 4 or so, before it crossed into shadow on Leo. Has anyone else seen this object flare? Having seen the ISS flare before, I would say that this flare was different in terms of color. White blue, not orange yellow. I haven't yet figured out the report formats I often see posted here, but I am including the HA link for my sighting. here is a link to the details of the pass I observed. http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDetails.asp?Session=kebgffhbfdkgolpmlblippai&satid=36514&date=40329.133409919 -Bill Chellis wmchellis@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
