Dear Ed, dear Seesaters, Thanks for observing and posting! Meanwhile, I think that the assumptions I made just don't hold. http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Sep-1999/0002.html It seems that it isn't justified to assume the precise and ideal orientation of the solar arrays as I did. Therefore, these flares are just not as predictable as I thought. >Both nights now I've seen these objects up to three hours or more >before shadow entry, which doesn't seem to fit well with the flaring >geosynch hypothesis. Is it possible that the flaring phenomenon >starts that long before they go into the shadow? Yes, you are right!
