Hi Michael, the only object I found that matches trajectory and speed, at the reported time, appears to be THORAD AGENA D DEB (Norad 4818). However, I don't know if this debris can actually become as bright as mag. -2. We don't have any report about this object. You can check its trajectory using this link: (make sure to copy and paste the whole link) http://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=4818&JD=2456976.8976258&lat=44.65&lon=- 63.6 Regards, Simone >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: seesat-l_at_satobs.org >Data: 15-nov-2014 10.47 >A: "SeeSat-L_at_satobs.org"<SeeSat-L_at_satobs.org> >Ogg: Satellite ID? > >Morning: > > I just stepped outside for a second and saw a slow moving satellite passing by Jupiter.
