Moving objects 21/01???

wow.. What a good viewing night tonight, very impressive.

As I was searching for M42, just south of it I saw 2 seperate objects moving at a decent speed within a matter of 2 minutes.
The first one I saw for a second was a very very dim light, definately not an aircraft, but I lost it fast and couldnt find it again.
Then as I attempt to find the Orion neb again, I saw yet another moving object heading the opposite way, this was a little clearer than the first, and it made go wow! I could follow it with my finder scope for a little bit as it moved a long, then I lost it, but I could track it with my naked eye.

As I was wowing at whatever these were, I saw like a shooting star too LOL.

Anyway could anyone tell me what I was seeing, I thought it might of been a satellite maybe?
