    Ed Cannon reported on a report of a spectacular double flare sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe, which he correctly identified as
the latest NOSS duo:

USA 160          0.0  0.0  0.0  5.3 v
1 26905U 01040A   02347.43086903  .00000030  00000-0  53198-4 0    02

01040C           0.0  0.0  0.0  5.3 v

At least three observers reported brilliant flares from the same pair on different passes early in April 2002:

Perhaps over the next few days, other observers will be favoured with flares from this pair, so they might be worth a look.
