Residents See Echo 1 Satellite over Frederick County
Frederick County residents witnessed the new U.S. satellite Echo 1 during several passes late Saturday night and early Sunday. The bright object appeared around 10 37 p m and moved from the northwest to the northeast fading after several minutes. It did not flash or alternate as some satellites do, and its steady light could be mistaken for a star.
