Hello, At 6h06m45s UTC Astra 1K(2002-53A/27557) was seen comming out af the Earths shadow in Gemini. It crossed just above the moon in Leo. When it was travelling in the eastern direction a tumble or spin motion of about 1s could clearly be seen. Brighness was about mag 0. A few minutes earlier at 06:01m UTC I saw 1 flash comming out af the constellation of Gemini. This could have been the Block DM2(or 3) stage but as I saw only 1 flash and nothing else I could not confirm its directory. Maybe this was someting else(an illusion?) or the rocket has already decayed.
