I found you folks in the FAQ section at Heavens Above. My name is Vilis. I've lived in Toronto, CANADA all of my life - and I'm a NIGHT person. Last night I was at a garden party just northeast of the city. At around 2150 local time, I saw two satellites - about 10 deg. apart on the SAME trajectory - pass through the Summer Triangle. I pointed this out to other guests and they were also astounded by the "double". My best estimate was a W to E direction. (maybe SE to NW). Maximum altitude was ~80 deg. I had seen another satellite earlier on - on a somewhat similar track. Heavens Above doesn't show two (or three) satellites on a similar trajectory. Forgive me for the following: I remember it was 10 minutes to the hour when I saw the "double" - but the more I think, the less I'm sure whether it was 2150 or 2250. Also, my watch may have been up to fifteen minutes late. Given all of the preceding, I can't reconcile with the information at Heavens Above. If necessary, I'll go back and fix my coordinates better - but there doen't seem to be a match of any kind. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
