    About 10 months ago I reported an amazing flash from ETS-7 (25064, 
    97-74B).  I've been looking for a repeat of that ever since, and 
    last night it did one that was at least pretty close to as bright.  
    I'd say it was at least as bright as the brightest Iridium flares.  
    It was pretty far in the east, not long before it went into 
    eclipse, and it was after the satellite was pretty faint for much 
    of the pass.
