    Hi Ted, Mike, all,
    
    This is weird! I have a SECOND geostationary UNID in my images, just east of the 
    earlier UNID.
    
    It is flaring brightly (to USA 202 comparable brigthness) in one image, and 
    clearly fainter but visible in a 2nd image taken 30 seconds later. It is close 
    to Syracuse 3A, which is visible in the images as well (see two reported 
    positions below):
    
    
    UNID II:
    00000 00 000Y   4353 G 20110503211402300 17 75 1522128-069890 56
    00000 00 000Y   4353 G 20110503211432300 17 75 1522425-069910 56
    
    Syracuse 3A:
    28885 05 041B   4353 G 20110503211402300 17 75 1522257-072240 56
    28885 05 041B   4353 G 20110503211432300 17 75 1522557-072240 56
    
    Also, two additional positions of the earlier reported UNID:
    
    UNID I:
    00000 00 000X   4353 G 20110503211402300 17 75 1515336-072900 56
    00000 00 000X   4353 G 20110503211432300 17 75 1516041-072900 56
    
    - Marco
