A VIEWER SIGHTING!

Here is a note from a viewer who saw the SPACE SHUTTLE AND THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION FLY OVER HEAD TONIGHT.

A quick observation... At approximately 8:43 this evening my friend and I saw what appeared to be a star overhead, but it was moving rather steadily off to the north-northeast. So we figured it was a plane even though it only appeared to be one light (and not composed of two or three lights - certainly none of them were blinking from what we could tell). Then another light of similar brilliance appeared not too far behind moving in the exact same direction. Both objects continued to be illuminated for about 20 seconds, until the first one we had noticed faded away. When the second object got to about the same point in the sky that the first one faded away, it also slowly faded. Both my friend and I are logically minded people, and we are sure that there is an explanation, a satellite entering the atmosphere (maybe pieces of the one blown up a couple weeks ago) or perhaps some testing weather rockets of some sort, or something... I didn't know who necessarily to contact with this report, and thought perhaps you were alerted of something or had some other reports? just curious... Thank you.
