8. I'm quite familiar

with the military stuff which was cause for my alarm. It would have had to have been more than a squadron, not likely.

Seems it was that satellite train thing launched last spring. So, I guess, cool that I saw it. I awoke and looked up at the right time. Sounds like I saw most of them. It makes sense that they all appeared in the same location, one or two at a time as the solar light would hit their reflectors so that we could see them at a given point. I see lots of satellites and other things out here where it still gets dark* and that's how they show up and fade away. You can see them for about 90seconds to a couple minutes depending on where they actually are.

And then there's other stuff that I'm not gonna talk about right now but there are a lot of them and they show up pretty often.


*It is actually pretty bright out where you get away from human lights.
