In the evening twilight at 05:11:xx 21 May UTC i observed a very nice formation flare by Iridium 4 #24796 97020E and Iridium 51 ? #25262 98018A as they travelled together. Both flared at about the same time and equal magnitudes, -1, brighter than nearby Deneb.

I also observed SL19 r #26367 00026C a few minutes earlier but my light didn't work so no timing of it could be made.
