As Rob Matson notes, there have been numerous observations of multiple Iridial glints. Quite a few have been reported here. I have reported some to Rob by e-mail and I think I have quite a few more in my log that I doubt I've ever reported. To find earlier messages on this subject, you can go to http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html and select the special link there to Google (I should not fail to mention that the Google site could well be called the "Mike Kessler Memorial Search Site" in recognition of the computer and on-line pioneer who had me on-line in cyberspace 34 years ago and who also originated the concept which makes Google usually quite a bit better than AltaVista, namely, machine search using bibliographic linking). If you'd like to see what I've posted here, you could use the search: glint wnissen OR dk058 double OR triple OR quadruple Note expecially http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Dec-1998/0143.html which proposes a nomenclature and asks a question which I believe remains unanswered. Also http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Sep-1998/0013.html in which I describe an effective observing technique or approach. To widen the search, delete the phrase "wnissen OR dk058 ", etc. Cheers.
