I noticed it around 2155 tonight, moving slowly and from my location it passed directly between the Magellanic Clouds travelling in a SW to SE direction, flashes were intermittent with some faint and others exceeding in my opinion, magnitude -6, there was also an Iridium satellite that produced a couple of bright flashes in the SE as well. Found out that was Iridium 39 and was visible at 21.58, flared to -8.3.
Have not been able to identify the other satellite though..
