Was sitting next to a campfire last night, miles from any lights, the stars very bright overhead through tall pines and aspens. I looked up and saw two very bright objects chasing each other generally eastward. Beautiful sight!

I was several miles north of Pikes Peak and the time was ~10:10 pm. My friend and I discussed what the objects were and I thought they were either Iridium Flares or the ISS and the Shuttle. Very cool to come back and have my questions already answered.

Thanks Peter.
