Awesome meteor show this morning. Took about 46 pictures and hopefully I will have my first meteor. While observing meteors, I saw a satellite flare just above Zosma in Leo at about 12:10:10 UT on 18 Nov 01. Running Skymap shows that it was probably SERT 2 (#4327, 70 009 A). It was easily third magnitude then slowly dimmed at it headed south. I saw another point flare to mag 1-2 around 12:20 UT around RA 13:49, Dec +15:47. I watched a while and saw no other flashes. Unfortunately, I did not record the time and by the time I woke up later the exact time was fuzzy so running Skymap was inconclusive with an uncertain time. It was unique. It could have been a head on meteor but not a Leonid. Guess this one will remain a mystery.
