A stacked frame showing the trail can be seen in http://soo_yin.tripod.com/adhoc.html EGP is near the vicinity but trajectory is way out. This unid flasher passed between Beta Ceti and 7 Ceti and moving towards the bottom of the frame. The closest candidate is cosmos 1536 fit the trajectories but ppas database did not indicate this is flashing. The period is roughtly 7.3 seconds... which kind of rule out EGP as well. So is this cosmos 1536 ( 84-13A) afterall? Merry Xmas to All /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I wonder if this could be the long lost MDS 1 Fairing2 which had a 7 second flash period.
