In vsnet-chat 6522 is mentionned flares of Aldebaran observed by Ferenc Puskas in 1991 and 1993.
In march 1983 Eduardo Cifuentes, then president of the spanish group "Mira", mentionned that three jung amateurs of the astronomical association of San Sebastian (Seccion de Astronomia de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi), Erik Stengler, Daniel Rodriguez and oscar Alonso, then 15/17 years old, observed the sky during the evening of March 7 1983. At 19h 17m (UT) their attention was drawed by a rapid and short (2 or 3 seconds) increase of the brightness of Aldebaran. They could not estimate the value of this increase, but Cifuentes published in our bulletin (BAFOEV no 24, p. 61, 1983/2) a little drawing of the events and asked if this events was real or caused by the scintillation or other reasons.
