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. Thanks, P.L. |

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. Ted Molczan |
