On May 21 I observed a similar event at 16:50 UT. I was looking out for MIR, and then watched for NOSS 2-3 Rocket. It appeared, moving north, north-east. The object was a few degrees to the north-east of NOSS 2-3, moving at exactly the same speed as NOSS 2-3, moving parallel to it and changing between just visible to about mag 0. Judging from the light conditions I estimate about 4 to 0. It passed almost directly overhead, and I lost sight of it all together 10 degrees above the northern horizon, in Cygnus. I'd also like to know what that was, and I have an idea it was the same object as Koralewski saw, as the period of variance was approximately the same. I checked the German sattelite visiblitly site, with no results. Anybody to help? And if the object I saw is indeed NOSS 2-3 Rocket (by the other replies to the e-mail), then what was the other sattelite? I definately saw two sattelites moving at the same speed parallel to each other. My predictions have the NOSS 2-3 Rocket at mag 2.9, which it was. It didn't change brightness, but only brightened slowly, and then faded away as it moved further northwards.
