Two bright flares in Chicago within minutes of each other

28 Jul 21:51:51 -1 44° 67° (ENE) 33.8 km (E) -8 Iridium 55
28 Jul 21:58:40 -8 46° 69° (ENE) 3.9 km (W) -8 Iridium 94

you can use it to play a prank of "aliens are landing" on an unsuspecting subject.

...And I read about this at 12:15 am Thursday morning.

Did anyone see this release? I have never seen one, but I understand they are different colors and somewhat comet like for a short duration.

I should pay more attention to these timed releases.

They look just like regular satellites but suddenly become very bright for a second or two; there is no tail or any structure.

www.heaven-above.com gives the predictions of this as well as other satellites.
