I have never knowingly spotted one of these, neither have I bothered to look for them but taking the wheelie bins down to the kerb for tomorrows collection I looked up and in the dark area between Crux and The Pointers spotted a bright quick flash. Then another and a few more from a slow travelling object. Too high for a plane which was my first thought. Then it disappeared, no flashes after about 9 or 10 over a 20 second time frame.
But I spotted a much dimmer flash a bit further on and a couple more then no more. Time about 18:50 local.
Iridium ?
Flashes were very bright, small but bright.
