    There are 1000's of satellites/objects orbiting the Earth. Tonight has a few bright Lacrosse passes (mag. 2.7, there are Lacrosse 2, 3, 4 and 5. They are US spy satellites). Lacrosse satellites, I've noticed, tend to have an orange tint. However, I've never seen it a 'distinct' orange.

    Another poster observed the same thing a few weeks ago. I must get a look at satellite passes again...but it's been too cloudy the past while. What time did you see it?

    Saturday eveing at 8pm ish give or take a few minutes i spotted this in Longford Town and have been scratching me head ever since. It was a really orange ball of something or other flames is all i could describe it as. Was goin extremely fast and couldn't hear any noise what so ever from it thought this was strange as it seemed to be very low in the sky. Anyone no what it was
