There's another one down the bottom left. Same trajectory but much fainter.

go to any high elevation in the mountains ( >5000ft id say ), and just watch the sky at night. youll probably see a few satellites cruise over the sky.

I can go outside at night and see multiple satellites. I live in the desert though w/ few lights.

I'm working on getting a decent telescope. I kinda want a compact one. I'm looking at this 80mm Short Tube EQ refractor over at telescope.com, but theres' also a 5.1" reflector for the same price, but not compact...

that was cool.
One night my wife and I were flying north from Portland to Seattle, and a satellite burned in for what seemed to be forever. We were over the relative darkness south of Olympia at 6,000'.

"The object's path leads to the constellation Leo," says Fakatselis.

Oh dammit, it's the Borg Sphere from the future.
