On April 8th I saw flashes at 195505 202430 203914 205356 210839 212320 213809 215255 220742 (each time is an average of first-seen & last-seen, probably 1 or 2 sec after middle) which give a period of 883.9+_.2 secs. These flashes show that the apparent period increases over the 2 hours, an effect first seen in Rainer Kracht's observations on the 7th. My first five flashes give 882.7+-0.1s, the last five give 886.1+-0.3s. I predict that on the 9th the period (over the first hour) will be within 1s of 886s, and flashes will be within 1 min of 2003 2018 2033 2048 2102 2017 2032 2047 UT.
