Hello, Maybe some of you can help me with identifying, what I guess are some geosats: On the evening of september 24 after swimming in the Approuague River in French Guiana, I saw several close together standing, apparently geosynchronous satellites flashing almost direct above us. First I thought it was a distant slowly moving satellite but it seemed that the flashes were comming from at least 3 different satellites. Some flashes were brighter then others but they were easy visible. I guess that some flashes were spaced with some 20s, some of them less some of them more. I didn't have the time nor the means to make a more precise observation. I guess it was around 22h local time which is GMT-3 I think. Here are the observation coordinates: 4deg11min52.90s N 52deg22min20.70s W Maybe a Superbird or Gorizont satellite ? This is not much but maybe there is something to tell about.
