Hello to everyone. Tonight at 23:11, my friend JC and me were waiting for two little Iridium flares at 21:11 and 21:12 UTCin my city. The first Iridium passed at the predicted time with the predicted brightness It was Iridium 54. After that, we were waiting for the second iridium (Iridium 16). I had read that it was deorbited and it was substituted by the iridium 86. We were waiting for a Iriidium in the same direction of Iriidium 54. The surprise was that the predicted Iridium 16 wasn't present. In subtitution appeared a flare in the other direction (going toward the north) about at 21:13. The flare was magnitude about -3 (visual appreciate) What have we seen? Thank you very much Javi Zaragoza, Spain 41.6406 N -0.8753 W Alt: 253m.
