    ETS-6 flashes:
    94- 56 A 00-02-01 02:25:07.1 JDG 158.0 0.3  14 11.29  F'fF'f mag0->+2->inv 
    11.3=2.9+8.4
    The bright (1x) flashes ended at 02:23:15 UTC 1 February. Flashes after that 
    time were about +5.0 mag.
    
    As Mike McCants posted, the observations of OCS match the 2000-004C elset 
    better that the 2000-004B elset.  OCS passes about 1.5 deg to the right of 
    alpha-Cet at 00:20:47.  The pass was N->S and passes almost directly 
    overhead.  It was visible at 1x for most of the pass at about a +2.5/+3.0 mag.
