At 21:08 UT on 960905 I observed Cosmos 2333 preceding its rocket
by only 5.6 seconds in Cygnus from near Gothenburg - a beautiful pair !

The B object was flashing at about 0.3 seconds period as usual for
this type, but the amplitude was too small to even succeed to count
flashes (or possibly too fast)

I failed to see the G object four minutes later.
