Today at around 2:40 am edt ( 6:40 UT ) June 20 , I had a naked eye sat pass by. I ran a check of the path trying to match it to alan's satbase.tle and mike's classfd.tle files. Well two of them appeaar to close to what I saw. They are 2 peices of debris. The rest don't match what I saw so far.

If it's clear tomorrow morning , I will try and observe them again. I have to make sure it wasn't one of them them. So if it was one of these, then wow! A naked eye sat from something that small. Must reflect alot of light:) Kevin 44.6062 N 75.6910 W _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/seesatindex.html
