I had completely overcast when I left work on Friday for Malma, and there at 18:15 and 20:30 local time. 21:50 it was unexpectedly clear, but too late to set up the telescope for a 13 degree pass in the N. Watching in 7*50 from about 19:59 I saw only a possible subsecond flash near RA 13:32 +36 at about 20:09:00, until a pass very close to the expected track, which turned out to be Envisat, at 20:15:00. Fitting the time of the flash to Ted's 05298 elset would force MM around 14.697, but also a two-degree change to RAAN (or corresponding to other elements). Also, such a short flash is unusual for the KH's low in the north?
