While on spring break, I went to Arizona. We stayed in several places including the Grand Canyon. Grand Canon is at a Latitude of 36.0540°N. There time is GMT, and their weather is nuts. =) One day it went from 70 degrees in the valley to 28 degrees in the Mnts. :/ I thought I left Mi for no snow..... On March 13 we stayed in Grand Canyon and much to my surprise there was going to be an Iridium Flare traveling through there and...I saw it!, I think.. The flare I hopefully saw, according to Heavens Above, was flare 22 which was seen around 19:30.
I saw a dim flash for just a brief second. It was eye catching but had I not know what if was I would have played it off to be a plane, like I do most on the time.
While out there, I also think I saw some satellites but can never be to sure because there is an airport close to every place we went. It would make sense that I did see them, because after checking Heavens Above, there were several passing through everyday.
Here are two of the satellites I saw up close...uncanny :)
I really did see real satellites though =)
