Hello;
I am at 39.2670N and 81.5620W. I observed a bright, rapidly flashing
satellite moving from S towards N at appx 0330 Eastern time this
morning.
It was just a few degrees below (W) of Vega when I first noticed it and
it
continued towards just east of Polaris. It appeared to meet the
specifications for 04-021B; flashing twice per second and mag 2. I
checked
my H.A. listings for this a.m. and nothing was shown for that time. All
suggestions appreciated.
04021B matches your observation very well. It was 2.3 deg below Vega at
03:37:15 EDT, and 0.4 deg east of Polaris at 03:39:33 EDT.

Thanks, I'll be watching for it.
P.L.
