Early last week I was out before the full moon rose doing some stargazing. I just happened to be looking at a point to the east-southeast of Orion, when I saw two "stars", separated by at least a moon diameter(maybe more) vertically get brighter suddenly at the same time, then fade away after a few seconds(at the same time). I was using a sky app and there was nothing but random stars in that area so I have no idea what it was. I've read it could be iridium flares, meteors, etc but what are the odds it would be pointed directly at me, two of them and not moving relative to each other. If anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know.
