Details:
After a number of failed attempts in previous days I finally succeeded to record Noor 1 this morning 3 May at 11:50:53UT. It was flying southwest of my location in Carefree, Arizona luckily at a favorable elevation and phase angle unlike on prior occasions. The pass occurred 46 minutes before sunrise; had it been a minute or two later I could not have been able to capture it on video as the sky background would have been wiped out. The object was clearly tumbling as described in the press. I estimate the brightness as somewhere between 8 and 9 as it was rotating during the approximately 2 seconds that it took to cross the field of view.
