On the pass of September 12 I saw 3 distinct flares, while on the pass of yesterday (13th), I only saw one, but it was in approximately the same place on the sky as one of the flares of the 12th. It might be an interesting exercise for two observers located close to each other to obtain timings of these flares, as it might reveal something about the orientation of the satellite. I have an 86 deg pass this evening, so I'll try to time any flares if the weather cooperates. It doesn't look too promising though.
