    I got a message from someone in Iran, that say's the following
    
    After a beautifully Iridium flash at about 20:55 (local time) (17:25 UT) we saw a small and very
    bright cloud over the west horizon.
    It came brighter very fast and reach to mag -5 and then went to the east horizon very fast. all
    these event take a long about 12 Min.
    this cloud was White and blue. and many reports from south to north of Iran confirm it.
    
    Sounds like they observed, the fuel dump from today's atlas launch.
    
    What do other's think.
