The iridium flares only trace very narrow paths, roughly every 3km away from the centre you lose an order of magnitude. So for example if you put in "melbourne" but you really live in frankston, which is 30km away, you won't see the -9 flare predicted for Melbourne.
Sorry if you know all this and doublechecked it all..

Nope , I did have all the correct things ,even checked with Paul (1ponders ) who lives a few kilometers away in a straight line and he had the same flair but a little fainter, but he did not look for it
I think maybe Heavens Above goes a little COOkOO now and again.
I have noticed it doing the same thing with the HST and The ISS in the past
