Hi,

Not sure if NOSS but last night in Adelaide I was out in the back yard at about 6pm (i.e. sun setting) and I was looking at the new moon when I turned around facing north-east and saw one very very bright light and a another very close to it (maybe .5 to 1 degree apart). Both were situated just above Altair. At first I thought it was Jupiter and Venus but i thought hang on they should be setting not raising....I stared at the weird sight for a few seconds then the brightest object all of a sudden faded from view to nothing along with the second less bright object. I only viewed the objects for a matter of seconds all up and didn't notice the objects travelling like a satellite but I can only assume they were.....that said, the brightest object was so 'intense' I likened it to Venus and I've never seen a satellite that bright!!!!

Anybody else experienced something like this or am I going mad...
