Arrived home last night about 21:52 hrs and as I always do I took the opportunity to take a few minutes to look up and around the skies. Spotted a nice fireball in the vicinity of Orion...and....an odd Mag 1-2 object periodically flashing (at less than 1 sec intervals) moving from the NNW to SSE. I looked over the Heavens Above database but can't identify it....I was hoping it was the Nanosail-D but the times and Magnitude did not match.
I wonder if the average person takes time to just look up at the night sky once in awhile...they would be amazed at what they could see.
