Hi guys,

I saw 3 awesome flares from Iridium sats. 2 of them confirmed from Iridium
14 and Iridium 75 with mag of -8.5 and -8.2 as per Iridflar prediction but
the third one was not in the Iridflar. The third sat flared with mag of -6
or -7 one or two minutes interval after the second flare.  All of the birds
just passed below the moon.  Can somebody check for me what bird that was.
Thanks in advance.
