Well, lots of Iridium passes (9) between 2230 and 2330 but all below Jupiter traveling along the horizon and there were a half dozen on a polar orbit but not near Jupiter as it was in the Southwest. Could be the Long/Lad coordinates. Jupiter shows only 11 degrees in the sky at 2300 hours and two Iridium satellites 82 & 920 only a few degrees apart pass below Jupiter on an eastern direction disappearing below the horizon.

A COSPAS 10 satellite is the only thing I show passing near and *above* Jupiter and it was at 2315 hours.

Possibly or probably the two 82 & 920 satellites were the cause of the flares and a location conflict with Long/Lad., otherwise it's one of those thingys we shouldn't discuss. ;-)

Anyhow, nice ketch and keep looking up.

PS. If you'd like more info, feel free to hound me. Raoul should give it a try.
