    Iridium 66- a mag -4.0 or brighter flare was observed for 6 secs then
    seven mag 1.0 flashes were observed at about 6 sec intervals.  I recall
    someone on the list mentioning post-flare flashes, first time I've seen
    them!

    Iridium 74- Again a nice mag -3.0 to -4.0 flare, no flashes though.
    
    Skymap predicted a flare from Ir 73? that Iridflar did not.  No flare
    or flashes observed from this questionable spare.
