Shape: Light
Two separate rapidly brightening and dimming objects
Was pointing out what I thought was the ISS travelling to the northeast, to two co-workers, but it got dim fast. Then about 15 seconds later they noticed something else get really bright to the southeast and I caught it out of the corner of my eye, and then it went dim really fast. The first moved in a straight line, the second one seemed to "wiggle" for a second. The ISS wasn't scheduled to pass over this area at this time, but I've never seen anything this bright from town. Neither object behaved like a meteor nor did they have flashing lights like a commercial airliner would.
