| very bright star that faded quickly I was walking near my apartment and saw what looked like a bright star high in eastern sky. It was as bright as Venus ever gets, but quickly faded and disappeared, seeming to move slightly to the south. ((NUFORC Note: Report is consistent with the flare from Iridium satellite #75.
