I was watching the ISS tonight when I saw an amazing double flare. The first flare was in the NE as the sat reached Ursa Major. I was too busy watching to note the time; it was approximately 19:53 MDT (3/16 1:23 UTC). It flared again in the NNE from 19:55 to 19:56. The path of the satellite was very close to Resurs 1-4 (25394). I am located in Albuquerque at 35 7' 32"N, 106 31' 17"W. While I was composing this message, I see that Becky Ramotowski also saw one of these flares and photographed it (http://astrobeck.com/).
