Robert, I saw it later, 27aug ~0453 to 0528 ut, w/56.10 sec. I looked earlier 0415 ->, but not continuously, and did not see it. I had good ref stars at 0415 too. I'm not an 'expert' re this sat, so maybe you saw it do non_typical flash and the normal cycle started later as seen here ?? I don't pretend to understand the geometry of this, but I would think we would be seeing it about the same time.
