I cannot say that we definitively observed the same event, but coincidentally we
tested our new TV cameras this evening and similarly we saw at Ondrejov Obs. two
slowly moving objects with constant distance (several degrees) both with the
same brightness (about +3 mag ?) which moved approximately in N-S direction.
Time of our observation was about 40 minutes later. These objects had typical
satellite appearance.
