Between 5:49:06 and 5:49:48pm PST he captured 14 images, which he submitted.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I contacted the witness, he had already done research on his own and discovered the Amazonas 3 satellite was passing in the same area at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Though the three objects appear to move together as one, it is apparent that they are not one solid object. Stars can be seen between them as they move.<\/p>\n<p>A search of the Stellarium database showed three satellites (Amazonas 3, Echostar 18, and Echostar 16) moving through the same area and direction of the sky at that time.<\/p>\n<h3>Corresponding Cases<\/h3>\n<p>No other reports of this event were found.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It is my belief that what the witness saw and captured in photos, were most likely the three mentioned satellites moving together.<\/p>\n<h3>Meta Data<\/h3>\n<p>Meta Data was submitted for each photo.
