    Yes, I think other lucky observers already stated such flares, and I
    observed one occurence of this, on July 11th, 2002. The observation
    point was in south-west of France. I posted the following text (not on SeeSat) :
    
    <<
    - The USA 160 brothers did a very strong flare between 22:26:30 and 22:27:00 utc.
    Difficult to estimate but surely m < -3. The leader first, then together,
    the follower alone at end of interval.

    Cheers,
    T.
