G'day all, Last evening Jan 20 at 9:33pm local (10:33UT) while show about 100 people the evening sky & while watching an ISS pass through the NE at about 20deg elevation at satellite rising in the NE flared for about 10secs at mag. -3, covering about 25deg of sky (& more at fainter mags.) then completely disappeared just like an Iridium Sat., though the orbit was somewhat off a N-S Iridium as would have set in SW on projected course. The GSOC site data I had only had one flare for 11:32pm (12:32UT) for Iri 8. Could anyone identify this flare producing satellite for me please. Regards, Chris Wyatt, in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Lat. S 36d46m35s, Long. E 144d14m28s, Altitude 240m PS I was about 3km south of my location above when I made the observation.
