    Belated report on my May 13 observations. A very clear sky, except for a brief 
    period with cloud fields around the pass of USA 186, causing me to loose that 
    object.
    
    07-060A was 0.7 degree off relative to elset 10125.90700105
    
    07-060A was passing in the same sky area as my May 5th observation, and like May 
    5th, showed a clear brightness variation over the course of 5 minutes. This time 
    starting faint and growing brighter. In both cases (May 5th and May 13th) this 
    happens close to the point where the satellite, observer and the sun are on one 
    line: indicating it could be due to solar reflection on a solar-facing side or 
    panel on the satellite.
