1966-5N (also known as 24704) was catalogued on 27 November. It was followed on 30 November by the cateloguing of another separate Transit satellite piece called 24705 from 1965-109. There is even another piece that was found 5 December from a third Transit satellite. I have been informed that such events have been seen since 1979 from this series of satellites in particular where the new object that appears is characterized by a fairly high drag compared to that of the parent. Collisions are not thought to be the cause. Paul Paul D.
