BEAN I did too. The sack would move over in the corner. LOUSMA Things we saw out the window. GARRIOTT For example, we saw that satellite about a week before splash- down. That was one of the most unusual things that we saw. and I guess Jack noticed it looking out the window. This bright reddish object was'out there and we tracked it for. about 5 or 10 minutes. It was obviously a satellite in a very similar orbit to our own. It was rotating and had a period ness vary with that period. We followed it until sunset and it went out of sunlight just about 5 to 7 seconds after we. did. It held its position nearly the same, in the wardroom. window for that l0-minute interval although we could see it drift in relative positions slightly, maybe 10 to - 20 degrees during the course of that 10-minute interval. It was reddish in color even when we were well above the horizon. As we. approached sunset, it turned more reddish, presumably because of the sunlight change. What satellite it was and how it. happened to end up in such a similar orbit, no one ever explained to us. And I would like to hear a few words from someone about that satellite.. 7-4
