>From 5.35am this morning (Mar 3 18:35 UTC) I witnessed a high (>80
degree) ISS flyover. Brightness peaked at about -1.2, and I failed to
recognize any colouration through binoculars or otherwise.

And interesting event was a flaring of about a magnitude at approx 40
degrees above the receeding horzion. This happened at the same time as
I reached into my pockets to find my watch had fallen out on the way
to the park, and none of my starchart software is working at the
moment, so unfortunately I can't give more details. :/
