    There is a report, "Spectacular Double Flare", on the 
newsgroup:

sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe

of very bright negative magnitude flares of a pair of 
satellites that were traveling together.  The writer 
ruled out Iridium flares and asked for ID.  With the 
information given, they are a very good match with 
USA 160 (A) and (C) (26905 and 26907, 01-040A and 
01-040C), and I hope I get to see such an event myself!
