    An Iridium flare of magnitude -8 was supposed to flare from Iridium #38 at 3:21:27amPDT on Jun 2nd.I saw the flare but in an unusual way.The flare was right on time but it flared to a -4 magnitude in a rust color before fading into the morning sky.Can anyone tell me why it was a rust color and missed the -8 it was supposed to flare.

    Happy Skies!
