(meteorobs) Strange event

[Marco Langbroek]

Interesting! No satellite matches!

Only 3 satellites/satellite fragments come within 3 degrees of the reported 
positions within 2 minutes of the reported times (IRIDIUM 69, COSMOS 886 DEB, 
ASTEX 1): but none of these was moving in the correct direction (all were moving 
almost perpendicular to the observed direction) so they can be 100% excluded.

The search was for all catalogued orbits plus classifieds orbs.

An option could perhaps be aircraft (?).
