A bright and fast object seemingly "overtook" the International Space Station May 29, according to several witnesses observing from two different states, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness database.
The first case was reported from Texas, where a man and two other witnesses were out watching the International Space Station fly over, and then observed this second object - moving at between two and-a-half and three times the speed of the space station.
A second group is reporting in from the RMCC Observatory, Mounds, Oklahoma, who say they saw the same event.
There is a 2-hour or so window after sunset for viewing many satellites. After that, the Earth gets in the way and blocks sunlight from reaching them and they appear to suddenly vanish.
