Hello,

Just saw the Proton rocket(97-26B) again at 2027 UTC this evening(May 30).
Very bright(mag -2 at least) and flashing with probably 4.5s.  Like Kurt
said, it is accelerating but it wont be for long as it will re-enter this
night(last one big flash ;-)  ).  I must be imagening things but I thought
it had a reddish colour. 

Greetings,
