what caught my attention of the evening of 13 oct 2002, at approx. 9:00pm was am occurrance that I have recorded. The object was traveling at its usual arc and speed. I thought this to be a satellite that I have been videotaping and recording over a period of time. It slowed down from its usual speed and separated into three objects. It made about four rotations, then went back to its normal appearance. This oject travels NNE to E on its regular path. But that night it didn't behave like a satellite. As an amatuer astronomer and a scientist, I find that what occurred was a rarity and I would appreciate it if someone can tell me what I captured on film that night. I might add that I have taken what I recorded on my Panasonic 700x digital camera and converted it to vcr then to digital camera and then to comuter so that I can download if needed.
