Jari,

	From your Lat/long I assumed a -6 hrs from GMT checking
	the time you saw the Flare I noted two possibilities.

	One)  would be a flare from Cosmos 1340 which at 23:28:14 
	Local time? was at AZ 285 EL 61 although I don't recall the
	direction of travel.
	Two) Iridium 21 tum passed S to North and was at AZ 290
	EL 53 at 23:27:15  a little early.  At 23:28:14 it was
	at 327, 42 near UMa.

	There were other passes but not within two minutes.
