Four large white lights surrounded by a luminus edge

My partner and I were observing the night sky through a velux window above our bed. A satelight started to pass over in a north easterly direction which I pionted out to my partner.

Moments later a craft which appeared to be at the same height started to pass over in an easterly direction. This craft was immense in size compared to the satelight and consisted of four white lights surrounded by a cigar shaped luminus edge.

Later that evening we noticed the satelight again and the craft also both travelling at the same speed and in the same directions. I do know that satelights travel at 18000 mph. The craft was travelling at the same speed and appeared to have circumnavigated the earth as the satelight had. I ask myself - did ((name deleted)) see it as it must have passed directly over their heads!!
