There's a pretty good report of what appears to be a very good match with the NOSS 2-1 triplets as seen by accident by a sky-watcher who thought they must be satellites but was not aware that there are some that travel in formation: http://www.msatech.com/nuforc/webreports/S17303.html I looked up the site -- Barnstaple, Devon -- on Heavens-Above and found that it's currently UTC +1 (England Summer Time). NOSS 2-2 did a very good pass 50 minutes earlier. NOSS 8 did a zenith pass just five to ten minutes before NOSS 2-1 but of course usually are significantly fainter and are much more separated from one another. I've sent a message to the site's director to point out the probable identification. Hoping for clear skies here for at least one or two evenings this week!
