Background
At 9:58 p.m. a woman in Charleston, West Virginia, took a time-lapse photograph of an unidentified satellite crossing the same part of the sky as NASA's Echo I communications satellite. Echo I appears in the same photo below the unknown track. Michael D. Swords discussed the photo in his 2009 IUR article on mystery satellites. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
