I believe that I observed 97-15B/24762, Cosmos 2340 SL-6 Rk1 at about 1:42 UT Thursday. I'm somewhat uncertain because this was 22 minutes before the Quicksat 10-degree twilight time. The elements were one day old. The culmination was at about 298 km (186 miles). I first saw the object at one-power (i.e., "naked-eye", except I wear glasses). It was bright, mag. 0 or 1 (or brighter?). Then I aimed my binoculars at it and observed very distinct flashes with a period of about 10 seconds (counted, not timed). Two minutes later I had a prediction for 23405/94-77B, Cosmos 2297 Rk, at mag. 2.3. It's a flashing object which in quicksat.mag had a period of 13 sec. in July 1996. Its track was similar to 97-15B, although 94-77B is in an orbit of about 846 km. If I had not had an accurate clock with me, I would have less confidence that I saw 97-15B rather than 94-77B. But my clock seems to stay accurate to within about 1/2 second or less per week. It is possible that 97-15B could have been that bright at 298 km (in the east, pretty good phase angle)? I hope that someone else will see it and confirm that it's flashing or not. Ed Cannon Austin, Texas, USA 30.3086N, 97.7279W ecannon@mail.utexas.edu
