Hi everyone,

I recently filmed a bright flare of COSMO-SkyMed 4 as it passed over.
This video shows the satellite coming into frame, brightening, and
then getting fainter as it passes over - it's not much, but as far as
I can tell, there isn't any video of SkyMed 4 passing over anywhere
else, so I thought I'd share it. The flare was bright, at magnitude
-2.4.
