    Fleetsatcom 3 (80-004A, 11669) was flashing to at least +4 just a 
    degree or two east or northeast of Spica at about 4:34-38 July 6 
    UTC.  Asymmetrical flashes at 10.6 and 52.9 seconds (shorter than 
    some months ago).  This would appear to match Brian's sighting on 
    July 4.  PPAS format:
    
    80- 04 A 05-07-06 04:38:14   EC  254.1 0.2   4 63.5   +4.0-> 10.6, 52.9
    
    While I was watching it, Cosmos 2414 Rk (05-002B, 28522), another 
    nice flasher, happened to go by.
    
    I saw twelve unids last night; most have now been identified.
