A Tale of Two Iridium Flares
No, it's not two iridium flares simultaneously, but something not too bad, two flares within a minute of each other, in almost the same location.
The sky was pretty cloudy, and those flares are showing up through the cloud. I took two separate pictures then overlaid them in the GIMP. The resuting picture is a little brighter tha the originals, but the clouds were reflecting a lot of light.
