Serious question, did anyone else see that weird green satellite flare over Phoenix last Thursday?

I was out with my new 8-inch Dobsonian trying to get a clean shot of M13 and it streaked right through the frame at 9:47 PM local time. Has anyone else had a good photo ruined by unexpected orbital debris lately?

Did you check if it was on any satellite tracking sites?

Is it even worth tracking something that small?

Ugh, I used to ignore that stuff too. Then one of those random streaks completely wrecked my 20-minute exposure of the Orion Nebula last month. Total pain.
