    Third night of staying up late trying to recover USA 161 finally was succesful: 
    saw it visually at +2 below Cassiopeia and east of Umi, steady, and captured it 
    on two images.
    
    No match to any known object and plane seems right, so no doubt in my mind that 
    this is 01-044A. Pierre reports a positive observation at the same moment from 
    France.
