Dear sirs,

I am a mere dilettante in the field of astronomy. I study the stars almost every night when the sky is clear. For the past few nights, however, I have been plagued with seeing an unidentified flying object.

At first sight, I thought it was a star. Then I noticed it was moving. I viewed it with a pair of 8 - 50 binoculars but it still appeared as a star. I felt safe to rule out the possibility of a satellite because it traveled in and irregular orbit and it reappeared too many times in succession. The first time I saw it, it was moving across the Big …

Dear [redacted]:

The objects which you observed on the night of 15 July were probably satellites. At 0940 pm on 15 July, Echo II appeared East of Cleveland, thirty degrees above the horizon and was moving Northeast, also, at 1128 pm it appeared West of Cleveland, thirty-nine degrees above the horizon moving Northeast. Echo I appeared South of Cleveland, at 0228 am on 16 July, fifty-nine degrees above the horizon moving Northeast.

Atmospheric conditions often add to the illusion that flight of…

Dear Sirs:

On Thursday, July 23, my friend and I were star-
gazing. It was very cloudy and we could only see
three stars through my telescope. We were sitting
around when my friend happened to look up and see
what appeared to be a star. He spent about a min-
ute sighting the object when suddenly it started
to move. It headed due North and traveled about
as fast as a satellite. We later found that it
was not time for Echo to go over. We decided that
there was probably a very simple explanation for
what happened. Could you possibly …
