Observing Space Stations

Radio Amateur VE6KOW – November 6, 2006 – 00:23

We had no street lights in Hamburg Rissen Germany in the early 1960th at my home:
you could regularly observe stars,that moved far too fast to be anything airborn.
I observed such a very fast moving star for the last time at night in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
sometime during the late 1970th.
ISS Fantasy Tactics hopefully will help generate enough interest:for Engineers to ask themselves what these stars are,because they don't move according to the Physics derived on earth.

I've been fortune enough to see 3 space stations. Skylab, Mir and ISS.

Since I started looking

Since I started looking skyward to see the ISS, I have also noticed that I can see more and more objects in the sky.

btw, one night when I was looking, I was tracking what I thought was the ISS, but then I noticed a white flashing strobe light, so I was at that point unsure what I was looking at.
