The flare-observation of 20-09-97 at 19:10:23 was real. It was even
brighter than my dazzling observation of September 14th. But now my
eldest son Chris and friend in astronomy was my witness. He estimated
the same magnitude. He commented: the air around the blue flaring
Iridium was brightened blueish. He also tried to photograph this event.
