    USA 129 showed five beautiful flashes to negative magnitudes in Per-Aur
    during 45 s after shadow egress.

    I observed a brief +2 flash near RA 17:02 Dec +39. Unfortunately I didn't
    get an accurate time to determine the object, but it was close to the
    18:33 track of Ir 71 tum I was searching for at 1-power.
    
    Yesterday I saw a flash at 19:07:45 while looking for Ir 71 tum, but it
    was about 30 degrees S of the predicted position of Ir 71 at the time?
    
    Also on Sep.24, SPOT 3 flashed to about +1 mag at RA 21:06 +34, 20:37 +52
    and 19:21 +70 (from predictions of stopwatch times, both lap times
    were 40.6 seconds )
