Cristian, there have been recent sightings of TELKOM 3 (12044A / 38744), which is a well-known flasher. It does not
flash on all passes, but can be spectacular when it does.

It passed close to NEOWISE at 22:09:38 local time. At the time, it would have been visible only if it happenned to be
flashing. Angular velocity was 0.2 deg/s.

Here is the H-A prediction:

15283&type=V

Did it have the correct relation to NEOWISE?
