March 31 06 - Watch the video  ( <3Mb) of the bright 2 flashes from DMSP- B5D 2-2 or 83113A 

(Below) March 26 06 - Unknown flasher in Puppis. (Top) The close-up of the flash pattern and the corresponding timing. 
 March 09 2006.  Shortly before 8pm  I watched this flare from monitor. Check out the  wmv video file to see how rapidly the flare died down after reaching max.  A copter flew past when the flare was in progression.

 March 08 2006  21:10:35pm  Unexpected x1  flare from Transat(1977-106A). The background stars were obtained from stacking the video avi in Registrax  so don't expect to see the dim star in the video clip.   Watch the video here. ( 2.8 Mb)
Iridium 914 (inoperative) - tumbling across the night sky.  Video of above passage. ( 2.9 Mb)
Old friend -'Disco-ball' in the sky - EGP - flashing pass the cloudy sky. Hit Counter
