Satellite, time and/or date are confusing - I can find only one Lacrosse passing at around 12:19 UTC between dates Oct.3-7.

Near zenith at that time was Abrixas rocket USSTRATCOM #25723 99022C (and others mostly moving S-N) /Björn > I live in Aloha, Oregon, at 45N30, 122W50, approx. > > On Tuesday, October 5th, I was observing the pass of > LaCrosse-4, at 1219 UTC.
