Hello from Finland! There is now several observations (including mine) of two very slowly moving flaring objects low on the Eastern sky from Finland. They are separated by few degrees and very bright (negative magnitude) staying bright for at least 15 seconds then fading quite rapidly. The brighness is something like Iridiums, but they stay longer bright and fade faster, the both objects fading at the same moment. They have been seen on August 11 at 20:45 UT (+/- 5 min) from Jyvaskyla (25.5E, 62.3N) and Muurame (25.6E, 62.1N) locations separated by 35 km N-S and August 16 at 22:40 UT (+/- 15 min) from Raasepori (23.7E, 60.0N). Any other observations or identification of the objects? arto -- Arto Oksanen arto.oksanen@jklsirius.fi Muurame, Finland _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
