Observation 10/5/10

Tonight, I observed yet another iridium flare from my driveway in Sarasota.  It was 8:05 pm, and I was looking north in the sky, and a little to the right in the sky.  It was very similar to the one from the previous night.  It only lasted about 20 seconds, and the part where it became very bright lasted for about 6 seconds. I could see the satellite moving fairly quickly, and then it increasingly became brighter and brighter.  Then, the light kept getting duller and duller, as it was still moving, and it eventually became invisible.
