We also spotted what looked like a satellite passing over us. We have an astronomy app on our phones (Star Walk 2) that actually identifies what space objects you're looking at and we found out this one was a derelict (non-active) experimental space habitat called "Genesis II".
"Genesis II" was launched in 2007. It was unmanned, but it had a monitored "bio-box" that contained a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, a scorpion, and a colony of ants. It was supposed to send data back for 6-months, but it kept sending it for 2 1/2 years. Last September, it had a near-miss with a derelict Russian satellite called Kosmos 1300.
Whatever the object seen, it certainly resembled a full tick on the screen. Traveled from the top to the bottom of the screen before disappearing. Other, smaller objects seen we took to be satellites. One, in particular, held my attention. It moved like a salmon upstream. Zigzag, jerky motion. To be honest, the object looking like a tick made me think I was playing Space Armada once again. :-)
Yes. It never fails. There is always a skunk lurking about to spoil a good time. Thanks for the app info (Star Walk 2)
