No binoculars or stopwatch, but from outside my office I saw Iridium 920 (24871, 97-034C) do more than 200 flashes -- more than I could accurately count because some were rapid secondaries and double flashes. It did some in the south, went invisible for maybe 30-40 seconds and then just south of Taurus started again, and flashed from the continually for about 60 degrees as it went north. As it faded out in the north, a nice flare from Iridium 40 made its predicted appearance. Then Iridium 920 started flashing again lower in the north. It was quite a spectacle. Now if only I can get out of here and go meet Mike at BCRC and see a few high-altitude objects....
