Jay Respler reported to PPAS in 1996 that 84-081A was varying. So maybe it's what Paul saw. It's drifting westward and so may not be visible from this part of the world again for some months. It should still be placed fairly well for, say, longitude 120 west. Running more extreme (much lower in the sky) predictions for here, I got three more flashing geosynchs currently over us (using the term "over" loosely): 17046 86-082A Raduga 19 (p ~ 24?) 19765 89-004A Gorizont 17 (p ~ 83) 21668 91-060A BS/Yuri 3B (flash period undetermined?) Weather prevented an attempt to try to see 90907 again last night, so I'm hoping for tonight!
