The sky is stuffed-full of satellites, you will often see one apparently 'following' another.
I saw 2 objects too, both appeared to be directly following the ISS path over and not far behind. I thought of the Russian module and I would have thought it would be a hell of a coincidence for them to be on the same trajectory if they were just satellites?
