    After a splendid clear evening yesterday in which I made 15 obs 
    to be reported later, I looked this morning for Superbird A.
    As I didn't know the exact time when it was supposed te start 
    flashig, I started observing around 03 UT.
    At around 03:19 UT I spotted a faint flash near the predicted 
    spot for Superbird A, to be sure I waited for the next flash, 
    also a faint one.
    Then I started timing on the next flash and could time 31 flashes
    before it stopped flashing.
    Some flashes were mag 3 other were mag 6 or even 7.
