satellite flash

It seemed to clear up so I stepped outside with my 15x70 binos.  But there were too many thin clouds to make a session of it.  I did sweep up M44, always pretty.  And, I saw a satellite flash through my view so I started to track it -- it was headed west, pretty fast.  It changed brightness a little, dimmed, then brightened.  Must be a booster.  Then, a bright orange-yellow flash which seemed almost rectangular -- just for a moment, then was gone.  The satellite itself disappeared shortly afterward, thinning out like a wick.  I kept moving the binoculars in the same direction and at the same rate I had been tracking it in, but the satellite did not reappear.  Fun to track it like that.
