Details:
Caught this satellite fuel event this morning high overhead my location. My rough estimation is that it was travelling only about a degree per minute and lasted for over an hour traversing my Zenith camera. This event produced a spiral structure that I've seen these before but this was quite small comparitively speaking. I guessing a very high orbit. My YouTube video of the event explains other information. The full video shows a "puff" of material coming off the satellite and extending forward before the satellite began spiralling.
