I use Heavens-Above.com to find visible objects. My Lat/Lon is Current observing site: *Kettering, 39.6890°N, 84.1690°W I am on EDST (GMT-4). Heavens-Above indicated an ISS/STS-127 pass this evening from 22:11:05 to 22:15:20. While watching the pass, just after 22:14:00 (perigee to me?) I noticed another dimmer object in a parallel path with ISS/STS. It was further ENE and was traveling faster. It caught and passed the ISS/STS from my viewing. It faded from sunlight sooner and at a higher elevation than did the ISS/STS. I went back to Heavens-Above and selected dimmer objects for display, but there were no other objects displayed. I am wondering what this object was.
