[M]: GMT Confusion

Boy, am I confused. Living in cloudy Pittsburgh (which is clear tonight - go
figure?!?) puts me in EDT, which I understand to be 4 hours different from
GMT (UT). But in going to the GREENWICH2000 web page, I get a report that my
computer time (which is quite accurate) is only THREE hours different from
GMT. HUH?!?
Now, the real reason for my question. Using the Iridium prediction web page,
I should have had a bright flash tonight at 20:27:56. (By the way, I set my
coordinates using a GPS, and should be accurate to within 50 feet or so) No
flash came our way, and I was wondering if I am confused by being an hour
off. Does this rambling make any sense?? Anyone care to help?? Thanks, as
always,
And clear skies to you, one and all.
