This was new for me. I'm house-sitting in the country, and a couple of nights ago at BCRC while trying to see Kevin's unid I saw a different one. Then I came out here. So last night when I likely saw the same unid again, I called Mike at BCRC, and he saw it also before it went into the shadow. It's a tumbling object visible without binoculars. Maybe we'll see it again tonight. It's in a low-inclination orbit. Maybe he won't mind me posting his search elements for tonight: 1 99993U 11674A 11175.13916067 0.00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 09 2 99993 28.5066 109.9795 0623481 334.7861 25.2123 15.04589991 00 Another search object last night was USA 102 (23031, 94-17B), but it was in twilight and was not seen, not even a bright flash or two. It's been more than 90 days since an observation was reported. Also, the last few times I've been getting a series of Iridium flare predictions very low in the WSW. Here there's a very low horizon in that direction, and I was able to see them, the last one less than five degrees above the horizon. Thanks to Arnold for the Calsky Iridium flare predictions. I was not able to get any response yesterday from heavens-above. It's there today.
