rare Irridium flare visible in Santa Monica Monday Night

[Ryan Mallery]

a little off topic but  during bikrowave open hours at 9:51 on Monday night there will be a bright irridium flare (sun's reflection off of the solar panels of a USSPACECOM sattelite)  about 40 degrees up from  the horizon to the East. It should be travelling fast north to south and last for about 15s.   Since the city lights of LA are so bright its rare to see one of these in LA but this one is going to be brighter than venus.
