Hello Everyone: I was out in poor conditions last night looking for the Magion 5 r1 when I observed a very fast moving object. At first I thought It was a low flying jet because of its speed across the sky, but it had no flashing strobes or noise associated with it. I have never seen a satellite move so fast. It was fairly bright at magnitude 2.5 to 3 and flashing irregularly. I could'nt follow it for too long since it sped across the sky so fast. The time was Feb 27, 00:15:00 UT plus or minus a couple minutes. A minute later I observed the Magion at a very bright 1st mag. My first viewing of this sat. When I got home, I used Satspy 2.5 and Molczan tle's to find the unidentified speedster I had seen and was amazed to find that I had accidently stumbled onto Cosmos 1043. I guess It was my lucky night. Dan Poeder Wyoming, Michigan
