    Greetings,
    
    Need some help of finding the identity of a slow moving unknown I saw this evening.
    
    My location is 30:29:07.3 N, long. -89:00:09.7 W, elev. 15 m.
    
    Time of observation was approx. 00:27:00 GMT, give or take 15 seconds when I first saw the flash.
    
    I was looking West, sitting in my front yard, looking up toward Algol, 26-Beta Persei, the unknown was moving North to South, about 1 to 2 degrees above the star.  It was flashing to naked eye visibility, about every 5 to 6 seconds, and was a yellowish-goldish color.
    
    I am unable to find a match with the Full Satellite Catalog from Space-Trak combined with Mike McCants' classified elements.
    
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    
    Regards,
    Bill
