Hey All,
Based on seeing a local midnite double-geosat
flare last October, I predicted - based on the
anti-solar position - that I should see this same
event last night. And I did! Here is my original post:

A day later Kevin posted for me an image I took of the
event.
With the anti-solar point at +8deg 45min
declination the two geosats flared up again at 7:54UT
at around Dec: -5 and RA: 10hr 37min. I think folks
like Ed (Austin, TX) and Brad (Tulsa, OK) should
attempt to check this out tonight if you happen to be
up at that late hour! I'll try to get a picture of it
again. High level cirrus clouds are headed this way
though.
