Early Friday morning around 04:50 A.M. I was having coffee on my lanai it was still very black and I was looking at the stars when I noticed a "star" moving across the sky towards the East I can describe the speed as about half the speed of a falling star and about 30 seconds later a second one followed the same course and dissappeared. Anyone else see this? or can explain it?

I agree with Daniel, they are satelites orbiting earth. You would be surprised at the amount of "junk" thats in orbit.

It may have been my ship. I was having problems with my cloaking device around that time.

Lee, trying adding Cremora. It's disgusting, but you're coffee won't be black anymore. By the way, your replacement guy SUCKS. I absolutely CANNOT stand his attitude.
Why are you leaving?

Lee, there are a few websites that have the visible orbits listed. This is one of the ones mentioned at the OVC (and the only one I could remember 1 week later....):

Have never back searched, so do not know if you can check Friday, 4:30am from this site
There is also a realtime NASA site, but do not know if they have archive info:
