As i was observing Cosmos 100 #01843 65106A pass by Cassiopeia, i noticed
another object just after it passed directly overhead my location heading
East. The time was 02:29:39 10 Oct UTC +/- 2 sec. Going by it's track of
almost due West to East, my guess is it's inclination was around 57/58 deg
or there abouts. It was just starting to begin it's Southward track and at a
mag of 3, it was easily seen at 1x. I began to track it with my 10x50s to
see where it was going but i got distracted by another unknown that came
into view from the SE. So i started following this second one when a 3rd
unknown was spotted heading South. By the time i followed this one, number
had gone from view. I have ID'd number 2 and 3 as DMSP 5DS-14 #24753 97012A
and Cosmos 1271 r #12465 81046B respectively but i couldn't find any object
matching number 1.
