    Friday evening (Saturday, July 8 UTC) I found Superbird A (20040),
    sometime after the flash episode began, I believe.  The episode 
    occurred just a little west to just a little north of gamma Scuti 
    (RA 18:25-30, Dec -14.3-4, 2000).  Here's a PPAS report:

    I was otherwise occupied last night and so only saw the pass 
    of the docked ISS and Space Shuttle, which I was able to show 
    to the cousins I was visiting.
    
    Friday evening we had a very beautiful pass of them here, and
    the weather cooperated.
