Finally back with tome unusaul changes in orbital elements.
The first preliminary results of my analysis indicating that there are
a lot more accelerations and mmjumps in the winter than in summer (for
Northern latitudes) seems to be true, as we had almost no MMjumps in
the past months.
The latest Molczan file shows to objects with sudden changing of
mean motion.

These J-objects are famous as accelerators, so it is very probable that
this one is accelerating. The latest flash observations indicated
a period of about 13 seconds.
Who will make the next observation and determine if it is accelerating
or not !?
Try to make DRA-observations of this one !!

This one is a Zenit-rocket which has been Steady for most of the time.
Thus this very sudden and distinct jump in Mean Motion means the start
of the flashing ?
The latest elements from OIG indicate that the jump in Mean Motion
is still going on !!
Observations of both objects are needed very urgently !!
Happy observing,
