A report from NY state from another list. ====================================================== While sitting around the fire in the backyard tonight I noticed what appeared to be a satellite reentry. It happened about 2:53UT 27Jun04, observed from 76.9W 42.1N. It was first observed at about 225 az, 40 el, travelling due east. Yhe speed was consistent with a rentry. There were about 5 separate pieces, three fainter ones which lasted the longest finally disappearing at about 120 az, 30 el. The brightest piece was lagging behind the three fianter pieces by about 5 degrees, with a star like point trailing by a couple of degrees. All the objects passed a few degrees above the 1st quarter moon. ---------------------------------------------- Tony Beresford ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
