This was the same object that I saw and reported about in my previous
message.

Tristan, I have to correct this, we (Koen Geukens and I)
saw it around 21h20 UT.
(extract from the mail on the mentioned 'other mailing list':
in Dutch "zo rond 21.20 UT").
I guess Koen was observing about 50 km East of me.
