Two nights in the last few Iridium 9 (97-030C, 15874) has 
exhibited an asymmetrical pattern.  Last night in addition 
it also showed a type of phase shift.  The flash period 
was about 10.25 seconds (roughly 9.00, 1.25), and the 
brightest maxima might have been -1 magnitude.  These were 
on southbound evening passes low in the east, in twilight.
