    Without being too technical, you still need to give your coordinates (or well described 
    location) to within about 10 km.
    And you should specify how inaccurate your timing (and directions) might be.
    Add the (minimum) duration of the flare.
    You might be able to verify the position of the flare by sitting in the same position and 
    relate to the early morning Sun,
    or to terrestrial features that you relate to stars at a later time (specify!) or even 
    turn lights and TV off on a clear evening
    and find a reference star at that position (specify time!)
