Hello everybody,

      My only positional observation for tonight was Lacrosse 3 :

25017 97 064A   1745 E 19990307235022900 47 25 1150667+531800 68 S+035 07

      I also observed WIRE for about a minute as it crossed Orion (quitte nice to see)
but as many others was unable to distinguish a clear pattern for the flashes.
time between successive flashes was around 0.4 second but the grouping
of flashes was irregular. I think I'm better at making positional measurements
than measuring flash periods. Magnitude of the object varied between +7 and +4.

      Cheers !

      Dan
