The time stamp has one more signficant digit than supported by IOD, so here are those times and the period in seconds: UTC Period 01:05:30.8815 01:05:33.3840 2.5025 01:05:35.8865 2.5025 01:05:38.3889 2.5024 I saw two consecutive mag 6 flashes of the object through 25x100 binoculars, about 33 min after Kevin recorded his video. I did not manage to obtain positions, but I may try again later.
