We saw a Double

On Friday evening, before the heavy clouds set in, I'd spotted a mag -7 flare prediction. I wasn't able to setup the satcatcher, but the family and I saw it. A good bright one that burnt through the thin cloud nicely. And amazingly, whilst it was beginning to fade a second one poked it's nose through the cloud at about the same brightness, slightly lower than the first. A lovely sight and the rest of the family were quite surprised and pleased to see the pair too.
