Initial data
This post is sent to clarify that I have previously observed a similar phenomenon in the past month.
This evening I went for a walk with my dog again, but this time my little sister was also with me. The planet Mars was clearly visible above the eastern horizon. At approximately 21: 25, my sister and I observed an extremely bright flash of the Iridium satellite over the constellation Ursa Major.
Five minutes after that, I noticed a bright satellite moving around the left edge of what northern hemisphere astronomers would call Pegasus Square, and advised my sister to take a look at it. The moment I noticed it, it was almost directly over my head and heading southeast. The peculiarity of this satellite was that it was close (
The satellites continued to move in the same direction, maintaining a distance of less than 2 degrees, and slowly lost consciousness after about 90 seconds well below the Pegasus area. Also, my younger sister saw 2 satellites.
We both noticed the slow apparent speed of these satellites. The fact that these satellites behaved normally, that I observed this phenomenon twice in a short time, almost exactly in the same direction and almost at the same hour, both evenings made it clear to me that this phenomenon has little to do with UFOs, aliens or extraterrestrial civilizations. life.
Most likely, both evenings I observed the formation of NOSS satellites. No investigation is required. Thanks.

Summary: This message is sent to clarify my earlier sighting of similar phenomenon last month. This evening I was again walking with my dog but this time my little sister was also with me. Planet Mars was very visible well above the eastern horizon. At about 21:25 me and my sister observed an extremely bright Iridium satellite flash above the constellation of Ursa Major. Five minutes after that I noticed a bright satellite moving just outside the left side of what the astronomers of the Northern hemisphere would call the Pegasi Square and told also my sister to take a look at it. At the time of noticing it was almost straight above my head and was heading SE. What made this satellite peculiar was that it was closely (< 2 degrees) followed by a less visible satellite just as when I observed it about a week earlier (I have no doubt that the objects I saw tonight were the very same ones witnessed in earlier report). The satellites continued into same direction maintaining their less-than-2-degree distance and slowly fainted away about 90 seconds later well below the Pegasi Square. Also my little sister saw 2 satellites. We both paid attention to the slow visible speed of these satellites. The facts that these satellites behaved normally, that I observed this phenomenon twice within a short time, almost exactly in the same direction and almost on the same hour both evenings made clear to me that this phenomenon has little to do with UFOs, Aliens or Extraterrestrial life. What I’ve most probably been witnessing on both evenings is a formation of NOSS satellites. No investigation is needed. Thank you.

Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
