>From site 5918 on Sep.3, I observed a high W pass by Ir44 (tum), showing
negative-magnitude flashes at 18:58:35 and 18:58:58 UTC, followed by SPOT 3
slightly higher, with several naked-eye flashes seen on bright sky, but the
first one at 19:03:55 was outstanding, possibly -6 !

Please report on these and other specular flashers, with siderial position
accuracy of about a degree, or time to corresponding accuracy.

As a bonus, I saw a slow meteor, mag -3, with a short tail, culminating in
NNW 40 deg, traversing 40 degrees in about 8 seconds.
