I've seen this happen a few times, usually they near miss but it actually happens quite alot. Given the amount of tech up there, its not suprising.

Its when they converge and then either dissappear or turn into twenty satellites moving in different directions that things get interesting.... and yes, I do watch out for that and it would make one heck of a photo!!
