FLARES! UFO?

    BUT WHAT ARE THE FLARES?

   All the satellites have large extensions, that are solar panels, used to produce 
 electrical energy to feed all the electronic apparatus.

  The satellites of the Iridium fleet (77 satellites) have very large solar panels, so 
 during their orbiting around Earth, their position may be in the way that the solar rays 
 are reflected from the solar panels directly against us. 

   We can see for few seconds a big moving flare, more bright than Venus planet.
 
   A web site permit to know when the flare light up, the position on the sky and the 
 magnitude of the flare, relative to an observer on Earth surface. 

   The site of the flare is a string large just a few kilometers, so when you look for a 
 forecast of one of it, you must give exactly the position of observation. 
 
   Also the time of observation is important, because the event is lasting just a few 
 seconds!

   At last, here on top you can directly know the flares visible just over the Agro Pontino 
 Area, and the territory of Anzio and Nettuno.
