I saw what I take to be a low orbit (or at least perigee sat last night (August 30th). I wonder if a re-entry might be in its near future? It was crossing the sky at the same time as the ISS (and just about 20 degrees south and west of the ISS) and it was travelling appreciably faster. Time was 21:43-21:44 local ADT (00:23 UT August 31st) and the sat was moving west to east almost overhead. Magnitude 1-2 overhead when noticed then fading over 15 seconds to mag 5 then invisible. Would appreciate some help with the ID. Thanks. Steve Bolton Somerville, New Brunswick, Canada 46.2874N 67.5316W El 130m -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
