    Cosmos 2282 was flashing more than four hours after Mike 
    McCants found it about 2:15.  I timed it for only a few
    minutes (after 1:00 a.m. local time, from outside my 
    apartment).  PPAS report:
    
    94- 38 A 02-09-05 06:25:51.8 EC  750.5 0.3  36 20.85  +5->inv
    
    I saw another single bright, slow flash, and Mike watched
    the location of Telstar 401 for over four minutes but did
    not see anything there.  This was about 1:58-59 UT.  I 
    also saw a slow-moving eastbound 3-second flasher (+7.5) 
    near the same location (slightly lower and to the east); 
    it might have been Comstar 1D Rk (81-018B, 12363), maybe.
    
    I got my best look recently at 90004 (formerly 90907). 
    The weather turned out to be very nice.
