Putting a quick correction out there because I had used an old set of TLEs.

The dim object moving from the lower part to the upper part is still unknown. The bright object moving in the opposite direction at the end is definitely Yaogan 8 (36121).

My mistake.

Quite confident in saying that the one moving from the lower to the upper part of the screen is OPS 4682 (SNAPSHOT).

The one moving in the opposite direction is tricky.  The best match is COSMOS 1472, but the timing is a little bit off, and I'm not sure why that'd be the case up as high as it is.

Unfortunately no. I could use some assistance with that.

Hi Paul,

Have you been able to identify the other two satellites we see on this very nice video?

I have uploaded video as they passed by Altair (magnitude 0.8) and you first can see 3 very faint objects leading the pack; the first one at 110554 (upper left part of screen). The rest were naked eye +1 to 0 magnitude visually and the last object was seen at 110643. They are definitely spreading out but the sight was the best I have ever seen in a dark sky spread across perhaps 40 degrees.
