    Dale,
    
    Now I'm intrigued. Do you have the observation data? Rise direction;
    azimuth in degrees; and set direction? I want to go into one of my
    programs, map it, and try to simulate what you saw. Date and times would
    be cool too. Is there a tle or something as well? I'll get the Sun in
    there, the ISS, your viewing position, time of day, and all that rot. 
    
    This sounds like a reflection of the ISS, but not necessarily a 'flare'
    in the terms of Iridium sats.
    
    Thanks,
    Fred

    It wasn't a flare but very bright during the closest minute or two of
    the pass. I didn't see it until it was almost at the highest point 59
    degrees of the pass because I wasn't paying attention and forgot to look
    for it.
