Benjamin Monjay posted: An interesting video was posted on a local weather FB group. I would be interested to know if the flare was another satellite or a meteor. Here are Quicksat predictions for a Starlink in the middle of that formation and the object ALOS: Lat 43.693 Long W 116.346 Eagle, ID *** 2023 June 29 Thu morning *** Times are AM UT 76172 STARLINK 6172 H M S Al Azi Dir Hgt Shd Rng Phs R A Dec 10 31 9 51 146 253 192 69 242 68 2237 9.4 10 31 21 47 129 239 192 80 260 79 2325 10.6 10 31 33 41 118 231 192 90 286 89 0 7 11.1 10 31 45 35 110 226 192 100 319 96 041 11.3 10 31 57 30 104 222 192 109 358 102 1 8 11.1 10 32 9 26 100 220 193 118 400 107 130 10.8 28931 ALOS 06 2A H M S Al Azi Dir Mag Hgt Shd Rng Phs R A Dec 10 30 52 46 120 107 3.1 426 325 569 85 2346 13.7 10 30 59 45 125 110 3.1 426 319 577 82 2339 11.0 10 31 6 44 129 113 3.2 426 314 586 80 2333 8.5 10 31 12 43 132 116 3.2 426 307 597 77 2326 6.0 10 31 19 41 136 118 3.2 426 301 609 75 2321 3.5 10 31 26 40 139 120 3.2 426 295 623 73 2315 1.2 10 31 33 39 142 123 3.3 426 288 637 71 2310 -1.0 10 31 40 37 144 124 3.3 426 281 653 69 23 5 -3.2 10 31 47 36 147 126 3.4 426 275 670 67 23 0 -5.2 10 31 53 34 149 128 3.4 426 267 688 65 2255 -7.2 10 32 0 33 151 129 3.5 426 260 706 63 2251 -9.1 The Starlinks continue to maneuver, so there is some uncertainty in the actual time of those objects. The Starlinks crossed about RA 23Hr 30Mn Dec +10.5 about 10:31 UT. The ALOS crossed that position also about that time. About 15 seconds later in the video, ALOS came very near a star at RA 22Hr 51Mn Dec -9. This shows as about 1 minute later in the prediction. That would indicate that the video shows one minute of real time in 15 seconds of video time - a 4 to 1 compression ratio.
