The unknown trio reported by Bryan Dort was likely the NOSS 2-1 cluster, consisting of 20682 (90 50B), 20691 (90 50C), and 20692 (90 50D). They culminated close to 03:36 UTC (22:36 Local), about 50 deg above the NE horizon, moving from NNW to ESE. >From: "Bryan Dort" <bluespruce@bigfoot.com> >I observed a very faint unknown trio tonight.
