Mike, Just got in from a great pass here in Phoenix, It was 1x in two parts. The leader was a bright steady white. The trailer (~5 degrees straight behind) was a yellow or orange slow tumbler. ~3 second period going from dull 1x at the brightest to not seen in 7x50 binos. Satellite Tracker was showing about 205 km alt for the pass. Robin Michael McCants wrote: > > I wrote: > > >We have a twilight pass in another couple of hours. > > It was spectacular.
