    Hi Greg,
    
    Thanks a lot for this page !
    
    I'm reconstructing the whole chain of events from reports originating from
    South Africa to northern Europe. I want to link the manoeuvers to the visual
    observations. I've seen myself many fuel dumps and different maneouvers and
    want to establish a kind of standard to be able to predict in advance what
    could be seen from a predicted fuel dump according to the altitude and
    attitude of the rocket stage and the kind of propellant involved. So far,
    I've noticed many similarities between fuel dumps and the October 18 event
    provided a weath of visual data to study.
    
    So far I've been collecting data and will start analysis only this evening
    because I had no time before.
