at about 10:30 p.m. 7/20/00 in central minn. i was looking up at the stars , and i saw what at first glance looked to be a shooting star ,but it didn't burn out. My question is was it a satelite and how fast was it going.In approximatly 2 min. it traveled 5ft . for my tape measure i held my arms up and my hands wher spread 5ft apart looking at the stars. i don,t know how else to explain it but it is a genuine ? it was a the size of a pretty small star as a size comparison. It was also going south to north it may have been 2 min. max that it traveled that far probably 1min 30 sec. another measurement to help answer the ? is looking straight up til it dissapeared on the horizon. if someone could tell me what it was and how fast it was going i would be grateful.
