Red star sized flares in Southern NJ.

A bright dot resembling a brighter than usual Mars was seen in the SE skies. The dot flared slightly, then diminished quickly. It reappeared in a slightly different position in the same manner. This occured 5 times. No further sightings over the next 10 minutes.

NUFORC Note:

Later determined probably to be the "flare" from Iridium satellites. PD
