The Heavens Above link to show when the Iridium Flares occur (when Iridium communications satellites are positioned to reflect the Sun as they pass overhead). The location is set for downtown Rochester, NY. Sighting Iridium flares is very sensitive to location, so if you're more than a few miles from Rochester, pay attention to the distance to flare center on the chart or reset your location to get more accurate predictions.
