| Top 1a) From the b/w monitor I saw a flash. The short duration video stack indicated a bunch of short breaks within the streak above. I measured the cycles are found they are smack on 11.0 seconds.

| Top 1c) The straight line trajectory was tell-tale sign of a passing satellite. It was object 82100D - Glonass2 or Russian Navigation Satellite. This is one of the slowest satellite I had encountered. | Top 2)Here is a x1 time bright flare from NOAA 6 ( available on tape). Notice the dimmer track before/after the flash. June 15'03-20:1919 in Lepus. Depending on the sun-satellite-observer angles, sometime we get a 'flare' from the mirror-like solar panels and other structures of the satellites. | |
