    While waiting for 22233 about a minute before prediction and viewing naked eye a very fast object came
    flashing by, definitely a decayer, quite possibly 22233 and if so it was a minute early and two degrees east
    of the predicted pass using:
    GPS 2-16 r2      3.0  1.5  0.0  6.5 d  3.1       872 x 150 km
    1 22233U 92079C   01077.50305413  .04551554  12855-5  13056-2 0  7984
    2 22233  34.4906  13.0107 0524164  65.8790 299.5736 15.18233155208239
    
    I could not find anything else in an alldat search to match the observation.Nor, could I find a match for
    UNID1, this object passed just below Alpha Leo as noted.
    
    Finally, just as 25017 became visible an interesting meteor passed overhead around 70 elev. in the south
    moving from east to west, it was visible for several secs and covered a lot of arc in its pass
    with a yellowish tint to the observed light and very slight trail, call it around 01:37 UT.
