    Brilliant, thanks for the tip. I presume it was the SkyTrain following it. Amazing.

    Yep we counted about 15, what’s strange is I’ve got a star gazing app on my iPad and it picks up satellites but nothing was showing on iPad,

    Kin ell , there's loads of em , lots not in formation . I'm guessing reflection from the moon onto the solar panels explains why we can see them .

    There's loads of them. My guess is they're police drones looking for knobheads breaking the lockdown.

    They just keep on coming. Never ever seen anything like it.

    Seen loads of dull lights moving diagonally from south west to east. Can you see other space satellites or space debris? Seems extra clear tonight and these things are coming at regular intervals

    I find all this stuff fascinating.
    It is due to pass over again at about 10.20 pm.
    Were the additional lights close to the ISS or at a distance?

    Very clear tonight, could be because of the lower pollution levels.

    The live feeds have gone down.
    Generally means that nasa doesn't want you to see whats going on.
    Apparently there were "losses" of feeds when the moon landings were going on. Astronauts seeing and speaking about unknown things up there !

    In a way yes; we usually can expect clearer skies (and colder air) when the weather comes from the north.
