Re: (meteorobs) Observations Mar 11/12 + Flashes + bugs



Speaking of such flashes, Javor and I saw similar flashes, but much
brighter, between -0.5 magnitude and 1.0 magnitude (at least the ones I
saw, Javor saw several more). They first appeared in south Cancer, and
progressed into Leo. They were separated by about 8 minutes intervals.
Perhaps Javor could give some more comments.

Chances are it was a geosynchronous sat.  Will contact a friend to ID it.
