2010-09-09 - Austin, TX - Light

Two tiny objects (like dim stars) fly overhead in unison, and then begin to move around each other as they continue on.

My boyfriend and I were walking behind our house south-west of Austin when he saw something and immediately told me where to look. Due south and located initially in Sagittarius, we spotted two, tiny moving objects heading directly north. The objects were very close together from our perspective, and moved – one in front of the other – about three times the speed of a satellite. We had just seen a satellite about 15 minutes before that, so it was easy to make a speed comparison. Just about when the objects reached zenith, both of us realized the two objects moved closer together and then began moving around each other. This continued until they were out of view, about when they were between Draco and Cepeus. There was no sound accompanying the fly-over. Their speed remained constant, and were no blinking lights, though their position relative to each other changed. Their visual magnitude (apparent brightness) was a 4 or 5. The sky was pretty clear – there ! were no clouds.
