Hi,

just observed flashes from Superbird A with 10x50 binoculars: 4 flashes of mag 5 
to 6 centered on Jan. 23, 3:50 UT. Flashes were brief (< 1/3 sec.); intervals 
between single flashes 21 sec.(+- 3 sec.).
Start of observation 3:49 UT; clouds made further observations impossible after 
4:00 UT. Due to circumstances the timing data are uncertain to +-2 minutes.
Obviously the flashes occured at the early edge of the time window calculated by 
Robert Matson (THANKS for your alert message!!).
