    Greetings from Deutschland!
    I observed Meteor 3M Rk last night at 00:08 UTC sailing past Deneb and Sadr
    in Cygnus flashing about every second coupled with some type of phase shift.
    Couldn't figure it out, need more obs.  Anyway the flasher was the brightest
    orange I've ever seen in a rocket body or satellite for that matter.  It
    seemed to be about a mag 2 at maxima and invisible at minima.  I followed it
    from Cassiopeia all the way to Cygnus in my 20x100's binos.  What a sight!
    This is definitely a 1x flasher!  Check it out!
