Derek Breit has reported (off-list) a possible sighting near 2011 Aug 17 04:21:45 UTC, ~3 min early and more than 2 deg off track. Scott Tilley saw nothing while searching at about the same time, but he was much farther from the track. I searched near 01:19 UTC (-60 s to +180 s) and saw nothing. The track that Derek reported implies an improbably large error in the plane, so I have altered only the altitude to account for the early arrival: 1 73706U 11229.16972919 .00014985 00000-0 21617-3 0 02 2 73706 40.0000 201.5886 0000766 213.4824 146.5940 15.55036988 01 Increasing the RAAN to ~202.9 deg would better fit the observation. I recommend using the above (with either RAAN) in addition to the earlier search TLE: 1 73705U 11226.02477666 .00014884 00000-0 21617-3 0 00 2 73705 40.0000 221.0206 0001168 189.0849 170.9942 15.54853139 02 Happy hunting!
