I saw WIRE for the first time on March 11 and I was a little disappointed because instead of seeing a "wildly flashing" satellite, I saw a quiet steady object (about mag 6) but it had one bright flare at 19:59:39 UT. This new behaviour was confirmed by other observers. -- Michel Jacquesson 08220 Sévigny-Waleppe FRANCE 4°05' E 49°36' N
