I checked out heavens above.
The ISS, STS-123, ATV, Genesis 1, and HST orbit history shows me that they were not visible in my area on the dates that I had seen the objects. Well,
the site didn't say if they were visible or not, they just didnt show any dates from the 6th to the 16th of march. I observed these objects on the
mornings of march 8th and 11th.
I'm thinking they may be satellites from other countries or maybe ours that the government doesn't tell us about.
The bigger, brighter one, the one I had seen on the 11th at the same time I had seen the one on the 8th, was sort of an L shape. It looked as if it
was distorting, maybe because of the heat mirage from the sun. I had my binoculars with me this time.
The Genesis 2 shows it was visible in my area, but not at the times I had witnessed the other objects.
The Envisat was visible in my area on one of the days, but again, not the right time.
I don't think I can track them with my scope. I think I may need a camera with a huge lens adaption on a tripod. Thats going to be expensive.
