I thought it was Sputnik 1, as there were others. Owned by USSR.

It was actually 1765 (not 1957 as incorrectly identified by Lt Col Charlie Brown), and it was a new type of spy satellite shaped like a domesticated bovine. Rumor has it that the secretive matriarchal spy agency of "Grimm" launched it.

I only rely upon the organic 'way back' machine for reminiscing. I find myself talking to my phone more and more these days.... ('ok Google - Why does my back hurt so much?' ... 'ok Google - where are my keys?' ... 'ok Google - who is walking though my yard')
