How many have they actually seen and just said 'oh, that's just a satellite' without giving it any more thought?

What you have descibed sounds like a satellite to me. They are visible over cities in well lit areas and because they don't have light sources of their own they don't sparkle like stars. They are more constant. They can be seen more often after dusk and before dawn as they are only really visible when the sun shines on them. Some mornings about 4 am I see up to ten within an hour all constant steady lights going from one side of the sky to another in diff directions, each one. The space station is brighter, more like Venus, sometimes you can actually see lights on in it if it is low enough.
UFO behave weird, satellites stay on the one course across the sky.
Oh my God! I have seen them and I live in Melbourne!
Alot of people I asked who I thought may have known more about what they could be simply shrugged them off.
I see them at various times of afternoon, evening and night, and not every day but often enough for me to wonder 'what if ...'
They sometimes linger, some are bigger and brighter than others but they usually are around the same size and color (vary from pale blue to bright bright white). I will try get a pic of the next one I see.

I see satelites & the ISS too, however these 'bol's' are cool to watch.
About a month ago, I pointed one out to a mate of mine - it was fun to watch him apply logic to something he had no idea about.
How come people feel the need to explain things - enjoy the show i say.
Interesting ain't it!!!

And I do not doubt what I see may sometimes be just a satellite but sometimes it gives me tingles.
Now I am no big UFO-believer, I do not discount they aren't out there, if I was asked if I believed I would say yes.
I am SO glad U brought this up and it isn't just me!
Looking forward to any information anyone has.
