Saturday evening (30 March UT), looked for flashes from Superbird A,
whose show is now creeping later into the evening. Did not see
anything in the interval 03:00-03:15 UT, which was the time it was
visible when I observed it a few days ago. When next I looked, bright
flashes had begun, and were seen using binoculars at the following times:

 03:24:32
 03:24:43
 03:24:55

Interrupted my binocular observations to try to spot the flashes
naked-eye. One flash possibly seen, not confirmed. Resumed
binocular observations:

 03:26:52
 03:27:04
 03:27:16
 03:27:39
 03:28:02
 03:28:26
 03:28:49
 03:29:12    was the final flash visible in 7x50 binoculars.
