I've seen loads of satellite fly overs and always love watching the ISS zoom over but tonight, just now, I saw my first Iridium Flare.
An amazing thing to behold.
I've checked it out on Heavens above and it wasn't my imagination.

For those who are wondering what on Earth (literally) I'm on about, Iridium Flares are reflected sunlight of the Iridium satellites. There are about 60 odd of these Iridium Satellites zooming round and round above us.
