I sought out the object again and was amazed to see it, or another object, headed back in almost the same direction from which the object was originally observed to be travelling.

NOTE: The fellow working directly behind me said that about the same time of the night on Sept 7, 1963 he saw within 5 minutes 2 such objects he was sure were satellites. Their paths crossed at about the angle showed in my illustration except both flight patterns were to the eastward. The first he watched cross to the horizon. The second he watched only briefly. He was camping in the mountains. His buddy observed the first but not the second object.
