Ed Cannon and I tonight observed a double "flare" from Cosmos 1869 (18214/87-62A) after its culmination in the west. The two flares occurred at about 50 alt 320 az, 03:28:50 UTC, from our position at 30.31 N by 97.88 W. Prevailing magnitude during the pass was about +4. Flare magnitudes were approximately 0 and +1. --Sue Worden (worden@fc.net)
