I had my first look at NOAA 17 #27453 02032A using my 10x50s. While i was tracking it as it approached the cup of the Big Dipper, another, brighter and faster sat came into my field of view at 06:11:50 +/-3 sec 21 July UTC less than 5 deg above (E) of the lower left star of the cup of Ursa Major heading S to NNW. I was able to id that sat as Cosmos 1242 #12154 81008A. Then just over 10 min later while i was watching the USA 160 pair, i had another sat come into their FOV but going the other way. I decided to continue tracking the USA 160 duo and kept a mental note of the other sats track and timing since it happened shortly after the USA 160 pair passed Alioth. I was able to id that sat as Cosmos 1011 #10917 78053A. I've seen multiple sats in the same FOV before but the first time one right after the other.
