Hi.All This morning I was out walking my dog and putting out the trash for pick up and watched a high pass of Lacrosse 3.The strange thing that I am reporting to the group is that Lacrosse 3 was made up of two sources of light with a very thin shadow gap between them.The leading light sources looked noticeably elongated.The second light sources was round and slightly more yellow in color but not as bright as the leading light source.I have seen passes of Lacrosse 3 before but never noticed this effect.Very clear morning with very good seeing and transparency.My question is has anyone noticed or seen this effect before with this satellite.I guessing that the elongated light source was the radar antenna and the other light source was the satellite body.But I am just guessing.
