    Oh Ya!
    
    I just played back the video, I captured last night:)
    
    And around the time I fiqured to check, a slow moving star is seen:)
    
    At 5:56 UTC ( June 14 ) it was in the mag 7 range.
    
    My evidence:)

    So the sat was around 
    
    18 h 46 m R.A
    -10 h 00 m Dec
    
    The sat was easy to see on the tv screen, for over 20 minutes.
    
    What this means, is I wasn't seeing things the other night, it seems:)
    
    I am sure, going to keep my eye on this sat!
