    Last night Galaxy 7 (92-072A, 22205) was observed flashing.  
    The first flash was seen by accident without binoculars and
    was at least +3 magnitude.  Faint half-period secondary 
    maxima were visible in Mike's telescope. PPAS report:

    We didn't find the unknown from the previous night.
    
    Location was BCRC: 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
