Thanks to everyone who identified the two bright objects I saw as NOSS 3-2 a and c. My observing site was Crater Lake N.P. Ted Molczan was probably correct when he said the star was not Spica but gamma Virginis. There were trees to my south which were blocking part of the constellation. When these satellites flare they are really impressive, they nearly knocked me off my feet. :-) J.
