The peculiar new object (α2000 = 17h52m32.7s, δ2000 = −17°41′08″) in Sagittarius discovered by Y. Sakurai (IAU Circ. 6322 (1996)) first classified as a slow nova turned out to be a star experiencing a late He-flash. The only other examples in historical times are V605 Aql, the central star of A 58 in 1919 and possibly FG Sge. The extremely H-poor central nebulae in A 30 and A 78 are considered the remainder of late He-flashes that happened thousands of years ago.
