Finally got to see what everyone has talked about. Saw 5 objects, 1 and 3 may have been the same one. All found with 12 x 60s at TULSA1 site (near downtown, with mag 4 limiting sky!) Identified the following: AMC-3 (GE-3) 24936 2:23:44 UT near Beta Aquarii and mag 5 GE-6 26580 near Nu Aquarii at 2:37:16 and mag 5 Object 3 may be 1, need to check UNID very bright just SE of the "Little Box" asterism NW of Iota Ceti at 3:19:54, mag 4 at best and seen naked eye! Flashing Brasilsat B-1 (23199) starts at 3:43:33, proper PPAS report later All times are when I first saw it, didn't try for shadow entry or exit yet. About to head off to TULSA2 and TULSA3 sites as weather permits for the next 9 days - I skipped Okie-Tex Star Party again and will use the other dark sky sites. May not be able to post. Hope to see many more geosats.
