On the last night of July 8 at 22:15 UTC I noticed a flares object in the constellation Cassiopeia. As it turned out it was a satellite MERIDIAN 1. I checked their observations with the program Heavensat. I noticed that the satellite can say by accident, I was just lucky to see this MERIDIAN 1. I saw a flare MERIDIAN 1 naked eye. The brightest flare was 3.5m, the most dim flare of a 6m. The interval length of time between periods of flare account for 45 seconds. Moving a satellite MERIDIAN 1 against the stars was very slow. The duration of each flare of time from beginning to end sostovlyaet no more than 10 seconds. At the time when I watched the satellite MERIDIAN 1 was almost at the aphelion of its orbit at a distance of 34,288 kilometers per program Heavensat.
