Last night (14 Feb 2001), I saw a mag 3 flare from Iridium 59 as predicted from Iridflar (152º az; 49º alt) at 19:23:05 GMT. A few seconds after this, I also noticed another sat a few degrees further to the South & slightly higher (mag 2, approx 165º az; 50º alt) following it. Any ideas what it was likely to be? I had a look on Heavens Above & there was nothing listed... Location: 50.909ºN, 2.789ºW Also: has anyone seen any reports of Cosmos 2278 flaring? I saw a sat yesterday of which Cosmos 2278 "best matched" the pass, but the mag it should've been was 6.8, rather than the 1 (approx) I saw it at...
