The first unique (for me) artificial satellite of the night is USA satellite debris.

This may be mis-identified though, which is actually first I've seen this, as everything has to be "perfect" for it to happen. Maybe it happens for a bunch of sats just launched together. But other than that, not common.

There is overlap between ID 40499 (the 1995 debris) and 11416, which is a USA NOAA (weather) satellite from 1976.

Need to dig into this one.
