    With the help of Jon Mikel I identify the originator of the flare: Landsat
    4 (13367)
    
    Here are the FPAS:
    FPAS,13367,RCB34A,20120728,023556,8s,-,-15.8762,-48.0871,1263,FSRP,5,-1.5,0.1s,X,B,101.2366,67.1189,0.5,1
    epoch 12211.11916870 TLE, Recording with black white camera donīt register the flare's color;
    
    My only question remains the variation in brightness along all pass after
    the flare, this is a common pattern for this satellite?
    
    Regards
