Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Actually, it might be a satellite...

Liz this site is not accurate.
Here is todays (sat 30th jan) satelite predictions.
Tonight (very soon)
from 17.40 to 17.48 82 (degrees) south east Lacrosse 4
18.43 - 18.51 77 north east SeaSat 1
19.19 - 19.23 58 north west Lacrosse 4
Lacrosse is the american so called 'secret spy' set of satelites that do not exist officially.
Tonight is very clear sky so viewing will be good.

If you live in harringay and don't know your compass points,
North = green lanes up.
South = green lanes down.
West = toward crouch end.
East the opposite to crouch end.
"82 south east" means 'highest in the sky toward south east'.
for example, 90 degrees is straight up in the sky above.

I just post sites that looks interesting. I don't build them myself.

Why is the site not accurate?

If you were a 12 year old boy you would not need to ask that question. James is alluding to a bunch of supposedly secret satellites that America has up there to spy on us. Of course people who believe in stuff like this should be deported to the US and imprisoned for up to 70 years. #garymckinnon

I get a bit dense after a night on the tiles and a few drinks myself, no shame in it ;)

I've never been a 12 year old boy, so I guess that's why I didn't get the whole 'dark skies' thing.

Only after a night on the tiles, John? :) (smiley face just to annoy OAE)

Liz the site does not list the two satelites coming over UK tonight and tomorrow thats all. I wasn't dissing anyone just trying to help folk who might want to see the satelites. American sites like these won't admit to Lacrosse existence.
