Satellites

I took Max for a walk tonight, a little after 11 p.m. While we were making our way around the block I spotted two satellites whizzing through the sky. The first one I saw was moving almost straight west to east, and well to the north of me, considering how low in the sky it appeared to be. A few minutes later I spotted another satellite. It seemed to be much higher up, because it wasn't nearly as bright as the first one. It was on a more north to south path as well. I have no idea what sort of satellites they were. All I can say with confidence is that they weren't communications satellites. Still, it's always neat to see something like that.
