confirmed miss

I crawled through the occultation video from March 27. The mag 9.2 star was supposed to disappear, for some, at 10:16:16 EST. Nope. It remained visible.

I carefully reviewed the video record. I had good data from 10:14 through 10:19. While there was slightly flickering from the seeing conditions, at no point did the star disappear.

I submitted my formal report. A confirmed miss.
