Hello List, This evening I observed three flashes of a satellite I was unable to identify using SatEvo's latest elements. The flashes occured in and near the triangle made of Alpha, Gamma and Epsilon Cygni. The first flash occured roughly at 20:21:09 UT, the second at 20:21:32 and the last at 20:21:51. More flashes were probably visible but I was rushing back in the house to write down these observations because I was bound to forget those numbers. The first flash was right (in azimuth) of Gamma and Epsilon Cygni, the second in the triangle and the last just outside the triangle with the satellite moving roughly parallell along Alpha and Gamma Cygni, heading North. The observation site was at 51°51'54" N and 05°10'25" E and -2 meters elevation. The flash pattern was multiple. Per flash there was a bright (-3?) flash followed with a lesser bright (-1?) one with in a second, seen on the last two flashes. I hope someone can ID this sat.
