I observed the same thing and had the same question. I was driving, looking around up in the sky. (dumb) I saw what I thought was an airplane, but no... (I read the earlier thread about the subject object and knew that it was supposed to make a pass right around then) I got out of the car, took out the 7X50's (flare was over) and caught 2 objects fairly close going the same place. Got home, looked up the information and came up with the same question that Sue had. Was the first object debris? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Wheatley" <mswheatley@txucom.net> To: <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 10:05 PM Subject: NOSS > Tonight I saw two objects about 2 degrees apart, traveling in the same line. > The trailing object flared for about 8 seconds to a -4 or brighter, and then > dimmed to match the magnitude of the first (about 3rd mag).
