Thanks. Seems like it was COSMO-SKYMED 1 and IRIS. I've seen satellites before but this was the first time I saw 2 simultaneously.

Almost certainly not astronomical objects.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because not about astronomy

@Walter Visual observation of objects above 100 km sounds like amateur astronomy to me. The amateur is not qualified to determine whether satellites are natural or artificial.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-10-19)

This morning at 6:03am Israel time (3:03 UTC) I saw, simultaneously, what appeared to be 2 satellites streaking across the sky directly overhead. If I remember correctly, they were both coming from NW (but it was early).

Does anybody know what they were, or how I can find out?

I live in Mitzpe Netofa, lon/lat about 35.39/32.80.

The best way to figure it out would be to use the site "In the Sky" (<https://in-the-sky.org/>). You can enter time, date and location to identify satellites. This would at least be able to tell you if what you saw was a satellite.
