    Mike sent TRMM (25063, 97-74A) as a candidate, 
    and I like the track.  However, the predictions, 
    using three-day-old elements, are quite early. 
     But if they reboosted TRMM in the last couple 
    of days, that was probably it.  Still, it would 
    be one of the brightest TRMM passes I've ever 
    seen.
    
    I had TRMM predictions but failed to notice 
    them last night in the dark due to conflicting
    objects, including two bright Iridium flares
    (one that seemed to match the Calsky predicted
    -6.7 magnitude pretty well) a few minutes 
    before.
