Hello Mark Welcome. You'd be better off starting from scratch and use an application such as Heavensat and spend sometime confirming what you are seeing based on current TLEs downloaded from SpaceTrack. If you haven't signed up please consider it. Google SpaceTrack and you're on the way... Space Track offers a shortlisted list of bright objects so you can confirm if you're tracking application is accurate and if you have configured it correctly. Observation reporting formats and techniques used here on Seesat-L can be found at satobs.org and this would be a good place to start your research into satellite observing. Many of your questions are answered here and will provide you countless hours of educational reading. As others have noted, posting meaningful observations that include time, direction of travel with respect to reference stars and your geographic location would help us identify the objects that vex you. Amateur satellite observing is a highly evolved art/science and a very welcoming hobby for those willing to take a bit of time to do some homework.
