One flash seen with unaided vision ,in a pass that reached 75 degrees elevatio in the ESE sky before dawn. This was timed at 18:31:36.2 October 8, but i would make 0.5 seconds for reaction time. This flash was mag 0, and extremely short. A comment, I cant make positional fixes of what I believe is required accuracy(say 4-6 arc minutes) under such conditions. I think I would be lucky to get 0.5 degrees accuracy because of the lack of reference stars with naked-eye. But the small number of flashes in a pass make it obligatory. I cant see how school children are going to produce enough observations to calculate air drag.
