Satelites visible to the naked eye?

Just wondering because i happen to have seen to. They move very uniformly.

The first one i saw was quiet slow moving, and the second one was actually very fast.

Very distant light specs..... obviously i have sharp vision.

I'm just wondering because if satelites cannot be seen to the naked eye perhaps what i saw may better be described as U.F.O's

If you have decent vision, you can see them. Sometimes 2 or 3 an hour.
When you do see one just remember what time it was and go look for it the next day, that will verify that it's not a plane or even a UFO.
They're not all on a schedule like that though, but I think most of them are.

If you live away from major cities, you can spot up to one Satalite a minute. Diferant Satalites go at diferant speeds as they can be at diferant altitudes, perhaps flying with the Earth making it stand still.

Yes, very much so. We watched Sputnik when I was a child, and you can even see the space station if you know where to look for it!

Go to this site Heavens-Above and put in your location and it should give you a listing of when the next passes will be in your area. It will also tell you where to look as well.

thanks everyone
you have been very helpful
