[APML] Iridium flares from last night

[Brian larmay <power_windows4789@yahoo.com>]

Hi...
was wondering if anyone seen those incredibly bright
iridiums from last night!

The first sailed through ursa major around 9-9:30pm
est, and lit up midway through its journey to perseus
and ended.

I dont know how to really calculate magnitude, but
this thing lit up as if a fairly decent size jet was
coming at you from not too far away.

The second was at around 10-10:30 est right in the
middle of gamma cygnus.

A shorter iridium, but about as bright.


Brian
