I seen today at 17:48 UTC bright flare HTV-5 (KOUNOTORI 5)! About a
distance of 1212 km, with a phase angle of 92° brightness satellite
appreciated -0.5m. Calculated mirror 20.3° 146.6°. In the rest of the
HTV-5 segment it was not visible even in binoculars because of weak
brightness. Flares is no longer observed. The span of the HTV-5 was at a
height of 9° upper culmination above the southwestern horizon.

Regards, Alexander Repnoy, Alexandria (Ukraine), 48.6657N 33.1137E 101m.
