actually that's not true.
Most com sats are the size of a bus.
who knows what the military of various countries have in orbit?
[Space stations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heaviest_spacecraft) are MUCH larger. The [ISIS](https://www.wral.com/weather/video/17144973/)is the largest to date but the Russians and Chinese  have had space stations also (Mir...several tons. you might recall when it de orbited?)

Hell the shuttle was as big as an airplane.
the hubble space sat is larger than a car.
so no...many, many sats are larger than a car
and you can see them with your naked eye if you only look.

A bus or a car, from 300 miles away it won't make a difference.  The moon is 1/4 the size of earth at a supposed 128,000 miles from Earth and it looks no bigger than than an orange in the sky, now you are telling me you are going to (with your naked eye) see a satellite that's the size of a bus that's 300 miles away?  Clearly you have not thought out the scope of the things you reference.

_The moon is 1/4 the size of earth at a supposed **128,000 miles from Earth** and it looks no bigger than than an orange in the sky_

[ The moon is an average of 238,855 miles](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=14&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjCrO3v4YLgAhVHQq0KHbc7APoQFjANegQIDhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceplace.nasa.gov%2Fmoon-distance%2Fen%2F&usg=AOvVaw2PJQm7cDmhVmbevc1iswzY) from earth.
Math is hard.

I typed it in wrong. Notice how the 1 is next to the 2 on a keyboard and the 2 is next to the 3. So it's real easy to accidentally type 128 instead of 238. I think I know what the D in the middle of your name stands for.  Pushing the moon further away helps prove my point that much more, so thanks for that.
