At a party last night we saw a flare, and can't find what it might be
anywhere:

Time of observation: 21:30 BST (20:30 GMT)
Location: 52.4490° N, 1.8750° W

Track was approx 85 degrees altitude moving from ESE (~250 degrees azi)
to WNW (~70 degrees).

I saw the object as it started to fade and this lasted for about 6
seconds, from approx mag -2 until it disappeared. It flared just like an
Iridium.

Any ideas? It'll help me explain things to my confused friends!!

Thanks

Mark.
