     The MELBOURNE SUN (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), August
25, 1954 issue, carried an article titled "THE NEW SATELLITES",
which stated: "Two meteors (asteroids?) had become satellites of
the earth and WERE REVOLVING WITH IT 400 to 600 miles out in
space, the latest issue of the American Magazine 'AVIATION 
WEEK' said yesterday.  The magazine said that the discovery of 
the satellites threw the air force into confusion this summer.  Alarm
over the sightings ended only after they had been identified as
natural rather than manmade."  
     Another possibility may be that they were both 'engineered' 
natural objects such as hollowed-out asteroids taken from the 
asteroid belt.  The simultaneous arrival of two large asteroids, 
combined with the fact that both took up a geo-synchronous 
(synchronized with the revolving of the earth and positioned always 
over a particular geographical location) orbit, would be an incredible
'coincidence' indeed.
