Greetings, Out for a little while after work, really bright Moon, but not bad. 12585 81 065A 0000 P 20110116011500000 56 Naked-eye pass. 20261 89 080A 0000 P 20110116011600000 56 04420 70 047B 0000 P 20110116011800000 56 11822 80 044B 0000 P 20110116012200000 56 25876 99 041E 0000 P 20110116012500000 56 35951 09 057A 0000 P 20110116012615000 56 Naked-eye pass. 12069 80 087B 0000 P 20110116012630000 56 Several flashes, about +1. For DMSP F-18 (35951 09057A), it was moving South to North, as seen from my front yard, as it passed about 5° above the Moon, it flared to a magnitude of about -2, a very bright, very white flare. I have seen it do this before, but to see it and the Moon so close was a really nice sight.
