Dear SeeSat members, Thanks for accepting me on your list. I am Jean-Christophe Millot, from New Caledonia. I am the president of the local amateur astronomy club, the Association Calédonienne d'Astronomie. I reported in the past observations of Lewis satellite reentry back in 1997 ! I hope I am in the right place to signal and discuss the following. I had since then some other observations from the public but never as much as what happened a few hours ago: we had a lot of observations of a reentry yesterday evening in New Caledonia (and also from Vanuatu). Time and date: Monday 14th at 19:15 local time = 14th 8:15 UT. Duration of the observation: from 40 seconds to 1 mn. Our local astronomical society Facebook page is full of observations from the public with a few photos and even videos. See. https://www.facebook.com/Assocaledoastro I am currently looking for more information about this reentry. There is a chinese rocket due to reenter in a few hours. Could it be early ? Any other possible suspect for this re-entry ? The local media contacted us this night and will certainly contact us early this morning so any additional information will be much appreciated and you will of course be credited for this. Kindest regards. -- Jean-Christophe 'Papou' Millot -22.294, 166.4582 _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Jun 14 2021 - 12:24:51 UTC
