Yeah the shuttle was alot fainter than the ISS, but i am assuming that was it because it was just a couple of minutes before and on the same orbit.
Now i am unsure about but to satellites orbit in groups? a few minutes before the shuttle a saw two lights in orbit about a hands span apart, so i had a look through my binos and there were about eight things moving through the sky. i have never seen so many sats in the same FOV before.
