For sure lots of junk out there, and likely some in "HEO" but more
likely really GTO that's left over from getting things up there.
Leftover junk takes a pass at the Foxes frequently, which makes me
wonder who the space junk really is when people claim that's what our
CubeSats are. Don't mention -Cliff I still haven't finished a failure
analysis (mostly because Spaceflight and SpaceX aren't talking).
So was it moving in a generally north-south way, or more of an east-west
lower latitude way?
And I'll take the opportunity to plug my favorite Android app Heavens
Above Pro which would tell us right at the time but then you lose the
fun of speculating and bonding over satellite stuff (before you give up
and look it up). hihi
