The Nano Sail was passing over the island and possibly its last fly over this week and luckily captured it due to its rapid decaying orbit it was a challenge to captured it due to its unpredictable course. Some flash burst is seen from its angle deflecting the sun light. Animation was made with 40 frames. ( Nano Sail exspected to re-enter in approaximately 3 weeks from now )

Never did look for it. Now likely too late. Nice catch.
