Last night (early June 3 UTC) and two nights ago Iridflar predicted 
magnitude 0 flares for Iridium 20 (25578, 98-074B, a.k.a. "20 ?").  
Both occurred pretty nearly at the predicted time, but I estimate 
that last night it reached -6, and on June 1 at least -4 and maybe
-6.

Obs. location was Dripping Springs, Texas: 30.190N, 98.086W, 250 m.
