. . . . . . Weather has been a little more cooperative, here near Paris, for the
last 2 weeks. So I have been able to make a few more drawings. About this
possibility of flare in Edom, when I saw where it is located in F. Melillo
picture, I realized that I may have seen one on May 28 at a very similar CML
(see attached drawing), when I noticed a small bright spot North of the middle
of Sinus Sabaeus. I cannot tell exactly how long it lasted and the precise time
at which I saw it (1:00 +-10min UT, likely which implies CML = 337+-2), but I
did not draw it on the next drawing 1:25 hours later. [I am not talking about
the slightly brighter round spot which is between it and the beginning of Sinus
Meridiani] I was not looking especially after such flare(s), so this is an
unbiased observation - confirming F. Melillo observation (?).
