I looked for USA129 on 2 passes over Sheffield UK (53.3830N 1.4660W) +200
ASL
in 10 minute windows before and after the predicted times (20:03:29 nth of
Gamma And & 21:39:22 UT NW of pi Herc). No sign of USA 129 although in the
second set I did see a Mag 6-6.5ish sat pass c. 3 degrees below pi Herc
about 5 mins after the predicted time..fainter than the Mag 5.0 prediction.
