It is indeed a bizarre sight to behold. My seven-year old Son and I
spotted this trio of satellites while observing one morning last month.
He made some noise about aliens looking down on us! I played along with
him a bit, but then assured him that was not the case. Strange that in
my over thirty years of meteor observing and over twenty five years in
the Navy, I never saw this strange formation. Guess it pays to keep
looking up!!
