I reported a possible COMETS flash at:

] 4:19:49.2 March 12 UTC, APPROX. RA 09h 00m, Dec +6.5
] (2000).  Observing location was 30.2934N, 97.8959W,
] 180 m.

I forgot to mention that the two flashes we saw were 
about as bright as nearby Procyon (alpha Canis Minor),
which is +0.4 magnitude.

One other thing is that on Mark Wade's Encyclopedia
Astronautica, COMETS is called Kakehashi.
