Ron's new geosync flasher?

I have been watching the high and low, fast and slow, drifting clouds
and semi-clear spots between the clouds for two nights and my
imagination has seen two flashes (one each night) at about 3:12UT
near RA 10Hr 16Min, Dec +2 degrees (1950) using 7x50 binoculars.
If my imagination really saw something and it is close to geosynchronous,
then its elset should be something like this:
1 99003U 99 97.88537037 .00000000 00000-0 00000+0 0 08
2 99003 5.9000 64.0000 0001000 359.9000 .1000 1.00274000 09
Ron's position would be about 2 degrees north of this.
I did see some flashes from Superbird A tonight about 3:20 and
it was not where I imagined these flashes were.
