Double flash of "satellite" moving North to South ???
While in my back yard, letting my dog out, on a particularly clear/starry night, I looked up into the night sky overhead & witnessed a small, white pinpoint "dot" of light that traveled North to South. Believing it was a satellite, but intrigued by it’s North to South speedy movement (I am used to satellites being seen moving West to East), I continued to watch.
As if it "knew" I was watching, it flashed bright white, then dimmed and within a few seconds flashed the same bright, white light and then dimmed almost completely out. It never repeated the flash. Within approx. 1-minute of this event, overhead I spotted a "satellite" that traveled very slowly from East to West.
I have never seen a Satellite flash…let alone so bright and then repeat! I imagine these were both satellites, but I consider their strange paths and flashes to be noteworthy. Were they satellites??
