NUFORC Sighting 76096

Occurred: 2010-07-03 22:34 Local
Reported: 2010-07-04 01:12 Pacific
Duration: 5 min
No of observers: 500

Location: Bellingham (Sudden Valley), WA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two lights following each other across the sky.

During the Sudden Valley fireworks show there was what appeared to be a satellite traveling from NW to SE... Looked like a normal satelite traveling at normal satelite speed but with a consistant brightness (probably because it was just after sunset).

As it passed overhead there was a second much dimmer light following at the exact same speed and in the same direction which was about a thumbs length away with a fully extended arm.

I suspect this was either some sort of satelite array or maybe the ISS and a transport ship? Have any ideas? O know the ISS is dues for a delivery.

Definitely sure that is was of this world - just interested to find out what it might have been.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly the ISS, followed by the Russian supply capsule. PD
