As i was laying back on my lounger on my deck just watching the night sky i had 2 unknowns pass by, the first at 06:30:23 2 June UTC +/- 3sec passed 2-3 deg above (S) of Polaris going W-E. I was able to ID that as Cosmos 723 #07718 75024A. However several minutes later at 06:37:13 i saw a very bright, est mag -6 flare of an object approx 15 deg below (NW) Dubhe. It lasted long enough to see that it was heading to the NW coming from the SSE. While i was scanning the sky for further flares i saw a flash to the left (S) and slightly above Capella at 06:39:30. Whether it was the same object or not i do not know. So far i have not been able ID this object. Thanks in advance for any help. I also watched a meteor just 'miss' ISS by 2 degrees.
