I was going for a walk at night at around 7:00 pm (07/03/11) and saw this over the Isle Of Wight (England) . It was 2 lights apart like the video and the front light flashed bright for about 4-5 seconds. I was not sure if it was a UFO so looked it up and saw this video.
@mrdavbro You very likely saw the shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station... Discovery undocked from the ISS earlier today. Several bright passes occured over the UK. Good catch.
@astroguyz Thanks, if it was not for this video i would not have known what it was. It was very strange at start where i have never seen anything like this before, you tend to think UFO and i can see how people can mistake it for one with the flash i saw. So happy to know i have seen Discovery and the ISS just wish i had my video cam at hand.
Not a lot of people are willing to get up during the wee hours of the morning to catch such scene, am glad someone took the interest and the desire to do so. Great video!!!

Thanks... the Shuttle is once again in orbit, last night trailing the station by about a minute.
