LIke Mike Bevan, I am also new both to this list and to satellite watching, although I have been an amateur astronomer for 25+ years (usually looking at stuff that really doesn't move that quickly!). It's good to have my interest in the night sky renewed. I would appreciate some help. This morning, I was out in my garden appreciating very clear seeing, when I saw two satellites crossing paths in Leo at exactly 5.32 GMT. Both around 5 magnitide, one travelling almost exactly N to S, and the other almost exactly S to N. They appeared to pass each other to within around 1 degree. Although neither object appeared to flash, the object travelling S very briefly flared. Hope someome can enlighten me re. identification. Thanks, Charlie.
