Video recordings of two occultations were shown, the first concerning the star AGK3+29 0398 and (93) Minerva on 1982 November 22, 03:31 UT, using the 1-m telescope at Pic du Midi. The occultation was also observed in Spain and in the U.S.A. The second event involved AGK3+17 1309 and (146) Lucina on 1982 April 18, 20:23 UT, using the 1-m telescope at Meudon. A short secondary occultation (0.6 sec) was observed, not caused by the minor planet. A possible interpretation is a small satellite (5.7 km minimum diameter) near Lucina.
