Inspiration4 10 minutes early?

Hi everyone,

Heavens Above predicted a high, bright pass for Inspiration4 for Duluth,
Minnesota (USA) tonight. I went out early and photographed an "unknown" 2nd
magnitude satellite passing just south of Altair in Aquila at 1:41:30 UT on
a path about 10° south of the one predicted for Inspiration4.

Inspiration never showed up at the appointed time along Heaven
Above's path, however the ISS showed up exactly on time on the correct path
a few minutes later.

Is Inspiration4 behind predictions? I can share a photo if anyone is
interested.

Thank you for your help.

Bob
