MASTER OT J141828.65+354249.7 detection - QSO flare

MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 18m 28.65s +35d 42m 49.7s on 2015-12-24.17714 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.3m (limit 18.5m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. We have reference image without OT on 2015-11-30.24109 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.3m.
This is QSO
Previous flares, detected by MASTER-Kislovodsk, are the following

MASTER OT J024148.54+430532.2 discovery - bright (16.1m) possible dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>6.5m, no VIZIER sources

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 02h 41m 48.54s +43d 05m 32.2s on 2015-12-18.70796 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.1m (limit 18.6m).
The OT is seen in 10 images. It was 2015-12-14 21:01:33.467 m_OT=15.5 (2 images)
We have reference image without OT on 2015-11-06.83088 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.0m. There is no any ource in VIZIER database, it means the 22mag limit from POSS history.
MASTER Global Robotic Net photometry history:
MASTER-Kislovodsk : we have previous outburst on 2009-10-28 17:36:49.506 with m_R=15.9, 2009-11-07 20:53:38.556 with m_R=16.9, 2009-11-09 20:12:56.194 with m_R=17.2,
MASTER-Amur: 2013-03-23 13:17:40.391 unfiltered m_OT=16.6, on 2013-03-28 13:30:40.161 m_OT=16.9
So the amplitude with the POSS difference is more then 6.1mag
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J073936.05-351848.8 discovery - dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>3.8m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 39m 36.05s -35d 18m 48.8s on 2015-12-21.94903 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.2m (limit 18.9m).We have reference image without OT on 2015-12-13.94231 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.8m.
The OT preliminary MASTER photometry is the following
2015-12-23 (23:12:03-23:51:07) m_OT=18.2
2015-12-21 23:14:28.001 m_OT=18.2
2015-12-20 19:09:55.857 m_OT=18.2
2015-12-13 22:36:56 m_lim=19.8 (no OT, 22 images)
2014-12-27 22:30:36 m_OT~18.2

There is only GSC2.3.2 star, it means the usual quiet state with 22mag limit on POSS, i.e. the current outburst is with amplitude more then 3.8m

Spectral observations are required.
