... Cosmos 1716 r (16457U 86002J) was moving north to
south below Markab....

... came into view about 6:59 pm. about 1 degree
below 1716 r was another satellite, moving in the same
direction....

I have been unable to id that satellite with any of
the current element files I have, including a current
alldat.tle.


Same here.

My location is: 30:29:07.3 N 30.485361 N


I used 89.0 west as your longitude, from a previous post.

Can you estimate comparative speeds? Was either of them
catching up with the other? Were they exactly parallel or
slightly angled to each other. What about magnitudes?
