    I have confirmed milstar 6 is what I would call flaring.
    
    I would estimate milstar 6 was mag 8.2 at 1:44 am EDT ( June 26 )
    
    So a approx position of 17 h 56 min R.A - 7 Deg 15 min Dec
     
    A very happy sat observer.
     
    I be watching this one a heck of lot:)
     
    Go Milstar!
    
    I also observed GEOS 8 flashing.
    
    GOES 8
    1 23051U 94022A   04174.76671880 -.00000073  00000-0  00000+0 0  3711

    I saw two flashes from it.
    
    The one I captured on video, is sometime around 6:10 UTC ( June 26 ) in the area of 
    
    18 h 14 m R.A
    -6 deg 18 min Dec
    
    See

    For the video of it flash. It's in MPEG 2 format. Real Player should play it. Real player is found
    at http://www.real.com/
    
    Look to the upper right for the flash.
    
    A very good night for me.
