Did I just monitor the echoes of a whole swarm of satellites?
Watching the echoes from the Graves radar to monitor for Perseid meteorites, I can occasionally see satellites as well. This happens when the reflections are strong enough. Sats are always easily discernible due to their much higher speed compared to airplanes.
Now I saw this this morning - an entire set of sat-like reflections, like a group of satellites close by and following the same trajectory.
