Allow me to share a short story about my MIR observations. Back then, when an interesting pass was predicted on HA, I would call my father 10 minutes before, tell him what time to go out and where to look. He would watch then call me back, take a deep voice and say «Pass confirmed» with his unique north european accent, and we would laugh. On a particular evening, a bright and high pass was predicted, so I called him. He told me he was watching my 8 year old niece so he would go out with her to watch the pass. Just after the pass, he called and said «Pass confirmed» as usual but in the background, I could hear my niece shouting «GRANDMA - GRANDMA - I SAW MIR - I SAW MIR !» My father is 87 now and still enjoys a nice pass. My niece is twenty and doesn't care that much anymore.
