Ed Cannon observed bright flashes from Raduga 33 at RA 07:12 dec.+52.5 to 07:27 +53 later in the same night that I observed from 10:06 +30 to 10:50 +24. Though I haven't found other recent flash locations for Raduga 33, it seems likely that flashes now WILL occur along a line (or circle) connecting these points, if you have a pass that cross that line. My event was longer, since the satellite was traveling almost along that line, but Ed's track crossed the line at 30 deg.angle Further positions (or times) of matching accuracy are welcomed, to determine if we have actually observed the "same" flash event, and the extension and curvature of the flash path.
