Hi!

Gunnar Glitscher and myself successfully observed flashes from
Gorizont 23 yesterday 02/05/99, around 21:00 UTC from Darmstadt,
Germany. We both immediately recognized that there was another
flashing satellite about 20 arcmin north of Gorizont 23, flashing
to about 4th magnitude with a period of about 60 sec (sorry, no
stopwatch). Back at home, it could identify that satellite with
certainty to be Raduga 27. Is this a known flasher?

Clear Skies,
Rainer
