NOAA 13 (93-050A, 22739) did a spectacular series of seven or 
eight bright double flashes (about .20-.25 second separation) 
as it went down in the north, well past culmination.  The 
brightest maxima were probably -2.  Its flash period is 
around 15 seconds.

MDS 1 (02-003A, 27367) did two or three very bright flashes 
in the southeast, probably would have been visible without 
binoculars.

Molniya 3-42 (92-067A, 22178) was visible without binoculars
high in the south, flashes to at least +3.

BCRC, August 14 UTC (Friday evening Aug 13 CDT).
