Check out the PPAS database at http://www2.satellite.eu.org/vsohp
were all reported observations are collected.

I've seen this sat several times, as well as another 1967 -01 X. This is 
actually 1971 116 B, if i remember well.
They both can be seen at quite some distance with mag 5 flashes.
Sometimes the flashes are hard to see.
The Centaur upper stages are tumbling and the long sides produce the
flashes. The don't have solar wings.
