Yes, I used to work for the company that made the unknown what elses.
But I didn't think those were large enough to be visible!  The two I saw
were easily recognizable, and travelling at about the same speed,
implying similar altitude.  I've seen Alpha before, so that's what I
immediately thought the first was.  Anything else that high would have
to be about as big to be so visible.  I don't think many things are.
HST?  Maybe?  Is it in a polar/high-inclination orbit?

... Roads?  Where we're going, we don't need roads!
