Thanks. I did see my first flair. I was about a month or so ago. It was,
I think ten miles or so away. I saw it
moving fast across the sky and got brighter for a few seconds, then dropped
down to it's original brightness.
Ten miles away?
Uhhhh?
I think Von meant that he was 10 miles from the centerline of flare
visibility. Pretty sure he didn't mean 10 miles from the satellite. :-)
