(meteorobs) Weird observation : New Obs (number 3)





Dear Paulo,

Thanks for your reports.
Your observations are quite interesting.
I would appreciate to know more about them and,
if possible, see the photos.

Best

Tonight, several minutes ago I've observed the cluster again. I've
take some photos with a 200mm lens and I'll send to anyone when
developed. More precise data

Local  : Brasilia, Brasil   15deg 52'south    47deg 55' w  GMT -3

Time  and Position :

            22:44 GMT     13h19m RA  and 2deg 30m declination
                                 20.8 elevation                266.6 azimuth
            Array had a inclination of 35deg from north to east. Size
about 12 arc minutes.


Objects vanished below 12th mag at 22:54 GMT.

Today only five pieces were observed. Four reached 5th mag and
one about 7th mag.


Please Identify it. All TLE files that I have do not show any satellite
at this position.

Could it be a "secret" starwars like array ??? My wife supposed
this weird opinion. But it is interesting to see that the meridian is
over Italy.

That is it.
