We have observed the space shuttle, satellites etc. Tonight we saw something NEW in the sky, a formation of 5 -7 satellites in a formation like a flying checkmark. They were in our sky (Roseville CA) about 9:12pm and flying from N CA towards S. CA. They were going slow and quiet like a satellite. They had soft red glow of 5 -lights in a check mark formation. I understand the moon/sun is reflecting off of them. Do you have a tracking program similiar to the NASA website for this. We were so amazed at what we saw that I went online to research this. I would like to hear back --Thanks, Randy and Jennifer Sugg Our family regularly watches the night sky.
