    2nd pass of #28888.
    Just 2.6 s before USA 186, a "red herring" crossed the field.
    In opposite direction, and I am slightly better att recognizing
    the inverted view, rotated by eyepiece/observer angle.
    It turned out to be #17291 87001B, an SL-14 rocket.
    USA 129 very faint in the W, despite 34d altitude.
