2004 XP14 sightings?

It was very faint and an irratic tumbler by my estimate. Only visable
for about a second every 5 - 10 minutes or so (not an accurate time by
any means). At its brightest, maybe mag 11, but invisable the rest of
the time. My hunch is that there is a flat spot that was acting as a
reflector.

Interesting--that was my experience. I had just two moments when I
thought I might have seen it, and it seemed to flash into visibility for
a brief moment, and when I tried to confirm, I couldn't see it. But of
course that doesn't prove that I saw it; for all I know, it could have
been a random piece of junk in my eye.

I did see a north-to-south satellite cross the field while I was hunting
for XP14.
