Has anyone observed a flare from 15331 (Cosmos 1602) before? Whilst walking the dogs last night (2/9) around 20:28UT I observed a bright flare low (10 deg) in the North, which I assumed to be an Iridium. Checking Heavens Above however shows no Iridium flare at the time and location observed, but I get Cosmos 1602 in the right place at the right time, moving in the right direction. I missed the start of the flare, but of what I saw it lasted 3 seconds and reached mag -2 at least. I didn't observe the sat after the flare.
