Original message: >at 06:37:13 i saw a very bright, est mag -6 flare of an object approx 15 >deg below (NW) Dubhe. It lasted long enough to see that it was heading >to the NW coming from the SSE. While i was scanning the sky for further >flares i saw a flash to the left (S) and slightly above Capella at >06:39:30. After further searching i see that ERS-1 #21574 91050A passed about 17deg below Dubhe in Ursa Major at that time and it was heading towards Capella in the NW so i would have to say that it was the one as i have seen bright flares from it in the past. My thanks to those who replied.
