In the evening twilight at 05:11:xx 21 May UTC i observed a very nice
formation flare by Iridium 4 #24796 97020E and Iridium 51 ? #25262 98018A as
they travelled together. Both flared at about the same time and equal
magnitudes, -1, brighter than nearby Deneb. Below is the Iridflar output for
them (times are local): 

Sat 2000- 5-20 23:11:06  030 29 1416 D L  330 -10  R  -1  35.5 km E   4   
Sat 2000- 5-20 23:11:07  031 28 1398 D L  330 -10  R   1  65.2 km E  51  ?

I also observed SL19 r #26367 00026C a few minutes earlier but my light
didn't work so no timing of it could be made.
