I just got an amazing view of the ISS flying over the UK - in the same field of view as Venus and Jupiter, on a beautiful, clear, late spring night…

… and then, when it was directly overhead, ANOTHER object travelling very “close” - in the same direction - at different speed. So similar a trajectory that they appeared “alongside”.

What was that?

This was 22:22hrs BST, Weds May 13 - I think that’s an hour or two before Cargo Dragon was due to launch.

I’m so curious what I saw “close” to ISS. One of them was brighter than the other.

How can I find historical flight paths at that time?
