(meteorobs) Bright mystery satellite pair spotted during PER observations tonight

[dfischer at astro.uni-bonn.de]

Hi Marco,

while visually observing the Perseids in the night 11/12 August 2012 from
Witten, Germany, latitude 51.4°N, longitude 7.3°E, at 22:35 UTC I noticed
a pair of very bright satellites climbing higher from the SW along the
'neck' of Aquila: they were of equal brightness, at first exceeding
Altair's, but fading simultaneously while leaving Aquila and moving
towards Cygnus in the zenith where they were lost to the naked eye; the
limiting magnitude was about 5.2 mag there. The angular distance between
the two objects remained constant and was roughly the same as between
Alpha and Gamma Aquilae, i.e. 2 to 3 degrees. NEITHER Heavens Above NOR
Calsky list ANY satellite, let alone two satellites, even remotely fitting
these observations!

Any idea what that may have been?

Thanks,

Daniel
