| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | a while after fireball - three 'planes' - but not commercial for no flashing lights seemed like LED type , flew towards north - two tracking parallel, one a little farther back, and one tracking more to west - spotted it because it shined bright light before it disappeared behind my house structure - I have never spotted satellites tracking in that pattern or travelling together - no sound, as commercial jets make after passing |
