 I did not know in advance, it would flare/ I had been watching the iridium next on the odd night, and look for any light show from then, like this one gave.

Thus I speculate that this bright flare originated from the solar panels. This leads to my two questions:
 1. Did you know in advance that Iridium 156 would flare on this orbital revolution, as seen from your observing location?
