After a little more research, I'm finally satisfied!

I was confused that two Iridium satellites were so close together. It turns out that the satellite that produced the bright flare (Iridium 90) is a spare. It's in a storage orbit, is not in operation, but is there to take over if another Iridium satellite fails.

The second Iridium satellite (no. 12) is operational. Mystery solved!
