With new satbase.tle, I have EO-1, #26619, 0.4 degrees below at 18:00:20 UTC. Landsat 4, #13367, and Landsat 7, #25682, are in orbits nearly parallell to EO-1, passing 19 and 56 seconds before EO-1, thus meeting Ir 25 earlier, and at greater distance. #21825 DMSP 5D-2 F11 deb D was about 1 degree above Ir 25 at 18:00:33 UTC. Cosmos 1163, #11698, was 1.3 degrees below Ir 25 at 18:00:27, while the flare was beginning, but predicted near mag +9.6 by Skymap, but COULD have been bright?
