Theo, there were no man-made garbage close enough to decay at 20:30UT April 6, so it cant be "space junk". you can check alan Pickup's site about decays at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatc Comet Ikeya-Zheng was above the horizon at the time, elevation 8 degrees at a bearing 24 degrees west of north. It may have been noticed. of course it wouldnt be moving except with the rotation of the Earth. Almost certainly a slow grazing meteor. tony beresford FRAS, FBIS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
