I missed it completely, because at that time I didn't know yet that the landing had been postponed. One orbit later, at 19:30 UTC I saw both of them, separated by 1m 55s, practically of equal brightness (less than Jupiter, more than Saturn). However, at my location (48.8N 2.2E) they disappeared into the Earth's shadow after about 2 minutes, at 38 degrees altitude.
