Just saw itExcellent vid.Kirsty and I went out to have a look for the ISS just before 6 o'clock. We saw something on roughly the right trajectory, and were following it across the sky, when Kirsty spotted something much brighter following it. From its brightness (noticeably brighter than Altair, which it passed below, I'm pretty sure that the second object was the ISS. I couldn't follow either trajectory against the fainter stars very well, as the floodlights were on at the Stadio Dal Gety, making all but the brightest stars invisible. The two objects weren't at all close together, I'd say at least a minute apart, and the first disappeared not long after the second one emerged from behind the wooded hill to our southwest. Might the first object have been the toolbag? |

hmmmmm paul, one minute apart is a lot. what i saw was two objects on same path but i finger width apart moving completely in sync.
Kit was pushed away from shuttle by hand - so cant get that far away. sounds more like you saw two satellites (ISS) and one other... maybe. |
