GRRRRR cant find which satellites I have just seen

Hi,
At about 330hrs WAST, 250711, I was just trying to peer through the clouds with my binos, when I suddenly found two bright objects moving across my field of view. One following the other. If it wasn't for the fact Atlantis has landed, it could have been ISS and it.
Facing east, about 3-4 fists above the horizon, and about half a fist apart, two bright objects. Same magnitude ( i believe) comming from the ENE heading south, but fading at the ESE point.
I looked at starwalk, stellarium, an IIS search and Heavens-Above, but could not either find the sats or previous sat tracking.

Could somebody point me to the right website or program that will show past sat passing's?
I know I have seen it some where .........
Please help.
Google is annoyed with me ......too many searches

Cheers
Bartman
