I've seen Iridium flares so bright it made me think God had turned on his flashlight and that the end of the world was near. Even mag -6 flares generate oohs and aahs from friends and family.

How ever the actual flare was very weak ,about the same as Regulus mag 1 . Is mag -9 really possible . HA also states that the max mag can be -8.
