Nice GIF Tom. The dusk timing was unfavorable.
I was 13 miles west of the flare centerline. I saw the first glint very
well despite the twilight. I saw the trailing satellite as well, but no
glint, which was predicted to be brighter. Maybe it maneuvered after the
most recent data?

I met Claude Haynes at GRCO. In addition to the sources Adam used,
Satellite Safari also predicted a bright flare from our location. Neither
of us saw anything, much less a magnitude -7 flare. We stuck around
another
half hour to view a bright International Space Station pass. Here are 2
1/2
minutes of 1-second exposures squeezed into an 8-second GIF.
