Default New User - Weirdest Sats or Objects You Have Observed?

Hey, c'mon everyone--Bill and I aren't the only ones who have
seen weird satellites! Who else has seen something interesting--
either one we've mentioned or a different one?

My wife and I saw the ISS with the shuttle Atlantis trailing it just after
it had un-docked over the USSR last year. I cant remember the date but it
flew over just to the West of us here in Colorado. As for the NOSS sats, I
have seen them here in Colorado at least 6 times and my wife spotted 26905
and 26907 all with the unaided eye. The thin atmosphere at 5000 feet above
sea level and lack of pollution here in Northern Colorado make for
spectacular viewing.
