Unexpected and beautiful!
I spoke with my father last night (he is 91) and we both recalled going out for several weeks and trying to see sputnik during those chilly fall nights 50 years ago! I don't recall ever seeing anything (I guess only the booster was visible since sputnik was only a foot or two across), but I do remember one night when he took me outside and we both saw Echo (200 foot mylar like beach ball) fly over the house just when the paper said it would ! thanks Doug -------------------- CLA CLL
