Tonight, on 31 October 1999 at 17:35 UT, I witnessed a pair of Iridium flares as I have never seen before. Irdium 51? was predicted to flare at 17:34:59 at magnitude -5 and Iridium 6 at 17:35:03 at magnitude -3. Both at virtually the same location azimuth 177 deg elevation 43 deg. I was expecting two consecutive flares 4 seconds apart, but in reality both flares occurred simultaneously. Ir 51? was significantly brighter, in agreement with Iridflar. I was able to videotape the pair of flares. A very spectacular view! Has anybody else seen such simultaneous flares?
