Today Dec 2 between 9-12 UTC, I saw three iridium flares. Iridium 84? had a easy bright negative mag flare, even thought it is in the following orbit. Time was around 11:11 UTC IRIDIUM 84 1 25530U 98066D 00336.55077274 .00005850 00000-0 10664-2 0 1239 2 25530 86.5840 354.6929 0001973 59.9403 300.2009 14.65899252110902 So it does flare, I have to keep an eye out for other sat's not in a orbit with a MM of 14.3421 Iridium 5 was visible to the naked eye for a long time, of all the flares I have seen, the sat is faint, get's bright, flares, then gets faint again, so I can't see it. But because of the way the sat travelled it was visible for much longer. It moved slowly across the sky heading south. It flared at around 9:49 UTC Also had a flare from Iridium 56 at 10:58 UTC ===== http://ca.geocities.com/kfetter 44.6062N -75.6910 W __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
