On the night of the 5th of August, I spotted various sats:
Meteor 1-9 Rocket, Lacrosse 3, Meteor 1-28 Rocket and
Cosmos 955. Also, Iridium 67 flared as predicted. I also
saw an additional sat; it caught my eye because it
flashed to negative magnitude, then faded rapidly to
invisibility before increasing to about mag 2 before
fading again to nothing.

I just wondered if anyone could tell me what it
was, please... details as follows:

Time: 22.29 BST (21.29 GMT)
Sat moving: North
Max altitude: approx 50 degrees, due East.

Best wishes,

Mark (50.909°N, 2.789°W)
