    This first looked almost absurd - are they taking it down early/slowly
    because of fuel deficiency ?
    But it may tie in with an "observation" I made on June 28 when trying
    to see USA 224 (and 161 soon after).
    Because of my bright skies, it took me four minutes in 10*50 binocs to
    find the Dolphin and eta Pegasi !
    Between them, where they were to pass, no reference stars were visible.
    I missed 224, but about two min BEFORE 161 was predicted I saw a
    bright sat leaving the FOV with eta Peg.
    The first reference star was eps Peg, which it passed about 0.6 deg above.
