Hi All, I have seen a lot of discussions on the list lately about double flares from the Iridium satellites. Tonight 3/27, I saw two flares from the Iridium 13 satellite. The first one was at about 19:54 as it was traveling across the head of Leo. I would guess it was about -1. The second flare was about a minute later but not as bright. The satellite had dropped below the naked eye limit between the two flares. These flares were not predicted by heavens-above for this area.
