Funny how I now look up at the sky even just walking down the drive to fetch the paper.
Daylight savings is in and my 5.45 am stroll to the letterbox is back in that clear predawn dark. Caught a quick flash in the sky this morning up near Orion, plane, I thought. Then another flash, and another .....
So paid attention and spotted a Nth to Sth passing of about a 2 second period flash. I am assuming this is an Iridium Flare ? If so it's the first I've ever spotted. It faded over about 20 seconds as it traversed but I could just see it for another 30 seconds
