Last night I observed 25018 (Lacrosse 3 rkt) passing overhead. As the
sat passed into Andromeda going East I noticed another sat (which I
have not been able to identify) going South to North, about the same
mag as 25018. Anyway the 2 sats passed very close from my point of
view (too quick to gauge just how close, but very close indeed!). Of
course I'm sure the satellites were really some distance apart but
having seen a couple of these 'chance close encounters' recently I
just wondered if anyone else had seen some really close passes of
un-related satellites? Its a fascinating thing to see.
If anyone has any idea about my UNID that 'buzzed' 25018, I'd be
grateful. It was going South to North, just about reached maximum
elevation of around 20 degrees in the East at 21:22UT as 25018 passed
it.
