Hi all, firstly I'm pretty sure I'm not going crazy but there's always the chance...
On Tuesday night at about 7:05pm, I was outside at work and gazing at the sky while I was walking to another building. Now I've used stellarium as a reference and from what I gather I was looking at either Altair or Dabih, not 100% as I was in a ally between buildings. Anyway it was REALLY bright, I said to myself "thats weird jupiter won't be up for hours" and kept watching it then it got dimmer back to its normal magnitude. Another guy at work saw me dumbfounded gazing at the sky and looked too but it was all over at that stage....
I'm I crazy? or did I see something special???

I reckon it might have been an Iridium Flare.
