Hi Friends--I need help in how to spot an Iridium flare!   

I am located in San Francisco, and last night I was all set to look for 
Iridium 28, due in the NNE at 19:38:00.  I looked up all of the particulars 
on Heavens-above--and I looked like I was only 2.7 km from the center.  When 
we actually looked for the flare, I was in Concord, about 40 miles east of 
San Francisco--but my friend and I looked quite diligently in the right place 
at the right time for the predicted -8 mag. flare.  

As you can tell from the subject line, there was no flare to be seen!  Any 
clues as to what might have happened?  And how to spot one?  I have never 
seen one yet, but now I am reallly determined to find one!

Thanks a lot!   Stella
