THE OBSERVATION LASTED FOR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN SECONDS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN SECONDS, THE SATTELLITE ON THE WEST SIDE ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES OF ITS ORIGINAL SPEED IN A NORTHWEST DIRECTION. WE THEN OBSERVED ONLY THE REMAINING SATTELLITE FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS. THIS LOOKED LIKE A "SPECIAL EFFECT" BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE NOTHING I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE - YET WE ALL OBSERVED THE PHENOMENON AND WE ALL OBSERVED THE SAME THING. THIS OBSERVATION OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 11,000 FEET AGL ON A CLEAR NIGHT. I WOULD APPRICIATE ANY COMMENT REGARDING THIS INCIDENT.
