Saw the upper stage booster (#26992) at 01:16 UT, 4 Dec 01.  Magnitude
at a range of about 21560 km was 10.5 for a std mag of about 4.2.  It seemed
to be fluctuating with a period around 10 seconds.

The three payloads were observed in a tight linear (last one offset to the 
east)
with a separation of around 5.5 seconds between each succeeding object.
Magnitude about 11.5 for a std mag of about 5.2 (Payload numbers were
26987, 26988 and 26989.
