    Has anyone actually seen the above flare? There was a
mag 2 flare predicted by Iridflar for 5:23 GMT, and I
think I saw it. There was thin cloud about, but there
was certainly something moving from North to South
in aproximately the right place at the right time.
I know the sat itself is unreliable flare-wise due to
it being at a "parking" altitude, so I was interested
to know the likelihood of it being what I saw.

Lovely pass of Mir this morning - and possibly brighter
than the predicted mag of -1.1 until it reached max
altitude.
