The Space Staion has just passed over (west to east) but going in the opposite direction (east to west) were two other objects in the sky - about a minute apart.
I know NSC has a few 'sky watchers', so do they know what they were?
They were not planes as there were no flashing lights.

Dont panic................................ sorry , PANIC

No one would have believed, in the first years of the
21st century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds
of space.

No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope
studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered
the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds
immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and
surely, they drew their plans against us.

There were two satellites - 'ALOS' & 'ERS-2' - coming from the east about the same time as the ISS

There was also the body of a 1943 Cosmos Rocket coming from the North West

West to east you say? Well, Yeovil were playing away at Oldham yesterday so we can rule out Adam Virgo clearances.
