Just got around to identifying a very bright -1 magnitude sighted May 11 at 01:22:47 UTC 10 degree under Arcturus heading northeast. Cosmos 2387 #27382 #02008A . Apogee 206 mile / perigee 141 mile, seen at altitude of 161 mile per Element Manager. According to IDSat it had an apparent angular velocity of over 1 degree per second. I was wondering why this recently launched sat is not in a typical orbit. This was before seeing Cosmos 1242 rocket #12155 at 1 degree under Arcturus at 01:23:47 UTC as predicted.
