Shape: Light

small reddish light following the space station very closely behind

I was finishing watering our back yard and saw the space station, I had seen it before about 1 1/2 months ago so I have seen it before. I saw it moving from the southwest to the northeast right over the top of our house, and a small reddish light following behind at about the same speed. when I saw this space station a month and a half ago there was also a small reddish light at that time but it was farther away and to the side (north) from my point of view, but this time it was right behind and a lot closer.

NUFORC Note:
