We report optical spectroscopic observations of the ASAS-SN transients ASASSN-18hu/AT2018atn and ASASN-18hz/AT2018aur (ATel #11541), obtained on UT 2018 Apr 15 with FAST (range 3600-7400 Angstroms) mounted on the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope. We used SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) to aid with the type, phase and redshift determination. The spectra of both transients are consistent with normal Type Ia supernova around/after peak.
