Hello All
We observed a -8 mag flash from IR 63 on 19 th morning at 04 53 IST ( 23 23
UT 0n 18th). The predicted mag by H-A was -8.
I had seen some flashes earlier but this was out of the world. It brightened
up rapidly to resemble a mini sun and glowed pure white.Then it switched off
almost abruptly and we could see a very faint almost mag 5 satellite.
It was breathtaking
