Dual Iridium Flare

I had just arrived home about 6.30pm and was taking a quick look up as we do and I was looking at Venus and saw these two satelites travelling Southish to Northish above Venus I don't know my degree's well enough to give accurate positions yet. Note the scientific direction statement when I realised they were Iridium Flares they were about my hands width apart the trailing one higher in the sky slightly then the leading one. I was thrilled to see two satelites together but when they faded I thought WOW Dual Flares. COOL
