That makes sense except that geostationary (geosynchronous) satellites must orbit directly over the Equator.

Where in the sky was this? Directly overhead, towards the east, what? How high above the horizon?

If it was a geosynchronous satellite or two, it would be about where all the Direct TV dishes are pointing...
