Here we go again with the unexpected satellite that I saw the other night. A very faint satellite emerged from the earth's shadow about 22:58:15 very close to Arcturus. I was watching it, thinking it was Envisat being early but wondering why it was so faint when, all of a sudden, at about the time Envisat was supposed to appear it did, but father into Bootes than I expected it should be. Envisat was also considerably brighter than the first satellite and caught up with it at 22:59:15. Just thought somebody else might want to watch for this pair of satellites too. I am going to again tomorrow night if it's clear. I find it hard to believe that they would still show up together again a few days and being in different orbits.
