Not bad, Dave!  How about:

  Flint?  Glare?

I say Iridiums "iridiate"....  Or, well, we could say that 
they "speculate" and we observe their "speculations"....

After the no-show tonight, I'm sure glad that Mike, Sue,
and I all got to see the whopper/monster Tuesday evening!
(The weather had looked pretty unpromising all that day.)

I missed until after the fact that Bjoern had already 
questioned just a few hours ago the same four that I 
listed a few minutes ago.  (I get the digest....)  Also 
I forgot to mention the two Dummy Mass objects in the 
"warning" list.  (Those two should not even be included 
in Iridium TLE files, IMHO.)
