During the course of a SiO maser survey of galactic disk IRAS sources at 43 GHz, we found two cases of doubly peaked SiO maser sources in the 40'' half-power beam of the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The double peaks in the spectra of these sources (IRAS 18019-1822 and 18465-0717) have velocity separations of 73 and 147 km s-1, indicating that each peak comes from a separate source. Infrared imaging observations found pairs of candidate counterparts for each source with angular separations of about 20''. Combining the observational data, we conclude that these objects are apparent-double SiO sources, which are by chance seen in the same direction. The discovery rate for pairs of SiO maser sources in a single telescope beam is found to be consistent with the surface density of SiO maser sources in the galactic disk. These sources can be used to measure the parallaxes and proper motions with VLBI in the future.
