Thanks to everyone involved for help in identifying some USA 129 suspects
I reported.

One object which I don't believe ever reached Seesat-L was the following
rough observation:

1997 Jan 2  11:56 UT (+/- 1min)  RA 13h 00m  Dec -61  (+/- 3 deg) mag +7

Being in the middle of moving house, I've been unable to find my dictaphone,
and have only a single split stopwatch and PC not set up..  Add to this
observing from a railway line to get a clear horizon and being assaulted by
mosquitos, I'm afraid this was the best I could do without losing my earlier
fixes!  Pretty sad really when I think of the output of Russell Eberst and
others!

Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing what candidates could fit this sighting.

Cheers, Rob McNaught
