Time: February 1, 2011. 7:30-8 P.M.
Place: Casey Key beach
On the night of February 1st an iridium flare was predicted to be seen at about 7:45 P.M. and 20 degrees above the horizon. At 7:40 I began to look for the flare and just before 7:45 I looked above the horizon due south, and saw the beginning of the flare. The flare only lasted for approximately 25 seconds, however, it did not seem to reach the maximum predicted magnitude of -8.
