    Has anyone who's observed Hubble ever seen it flare?
    
    I just saw it pass over my location (Knoxville, 35.9676°N, 84.0251°W) 
    and right as it hit closest approach it flared very bright.  Possibly 
    Mag 1.5 to 1.  It then quickly went back to mag 3 to 3.5 and cruised on 
    to the East.
    
    This is the first time I've actively looked for it, but didn't expect a 
    flare.
