Hi All, Another possible satellite re-entry? Chris Chris Peat, Heavens-Above GmbH E-mail: Chris.Peat@heavens-above.com Web site: www.heavens-above.com -----Original Message----- From: gvarros@gvarros.com [mailto:gvarros@gvarros.com] Sent: 05 September 2001 16:26 To: Chris.Peat@heavens-above.com Subject: strange object Chris, forgot to include my location in previous e-mail. It is 39.341 N -77.2075 W George --------- Chris, I just saw an object that I could not identify and was wondering if some rocket body re-entered... Here's what I saw: Coming out of the west at 10:08:00 ut around 15 degrees elevation, an object moving towards the south-east. It was moving 4 or 5 times faster than the ISS or a satellite. Was orange in color and of detectable size. It sometimes appeared to be slightly elongated along its path. It reached around mag -3 as it approached my central meridian which it crossed at 10:08:22 ut at around 30 degrees elevation. I then lost it in the trees around 10:08:40 ut at around 15 degrees elevation at a direction of SSE. It didn't look like a meteor or earth grazing chunk of rock and wasn't an airplane. Any ideas?
