COMMENTS:
Verify SAR Lupe 4 is not some other sat. It was way off track. No match w/
full catalog.

Magnitudes on the two NOSS.. Points are primarily where and when it was the
brightest. Matches posted flare video. 

SAR Lupe 1 (near Capella) had a very bright fast mover very close to the
middle point. Half inch trail in a 6 inch image. Maybe a meteor. Does it
match a satellite??
