I had gotten up, had my coffee and came outside. It was dark, warm and breezy and a starfilled sky. I pulled out a chair and sat down to just enjoy the beauty of the early morning. As I gazed up at the stars, I noticed one was moving and it just kept going, sort of west to east I'd say. It was like a medium size star, but it just kept moving and I had to get up and go to other side of house to follow it. Was it a satellite? There was no sound, and it seemed to be very high up in the atmosphere. Although it seemed to slow down a times, I can't really really say for sure. The path seemed to be fairly straight. Then I lost sight of it in the east." ----- Anyway, analysis shows this to be likely a satellite. The following satellite is the only one that is visible at +-30 min from 5:30 am which is going anywhere near West to East at that spot and day. http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ezeus001002/keaau1.jpg Name: Palapa 6 Rocket 3.3 Magnitude Time: 05:40:00 Alt.0=B0 W 05:41:42 74=B0 N Az.05:45:36 10=B0 ENE
