    I accidentally omitted part of my reply to Manmeet (also containing a
    SkyMap) :
    
    They were most probably NOSS 3-5 A/B satellites, listed at H-A as USA 229 /
    USA 229 DEB.
    with unknown magnitude. Usually around +5, but +2 is common in special
    attitude conditions.
    
    To find more info on NOSS, google "noss site:satobs.org"
    
    H-A does not show the NOSS because it's magnitude is marked as ? in their
    database.
    If you have catalog number (37386 / 91) available, use 'Select a satellite
    from the database' and/or search for the name/ID.
    I usually click ISS on the lines above, then replace 25544 in the URL by
    the number I know.
