NARRATIVE

I was watching the ISS as I normally do when it passes over my area.
I would say that the ISS was probably over the English Channel going into Holland when suddenly, a bright light came from behind it & seemed to give chase. It overtook the ISS quite closely then disappeared.
The bright light was not an airplane as no airplane I know can go that speed and be totally silent.
The incident only lasted about 3 or 2 seconds
I was dreading that a rocket had been fired at it.
As I was telling my wife what I saw, my daughter sent a message saying that she saw the light chasing the ISS, overtook it & disappeared, just as I did.
So I didn’t imagine it.
I took my VDO camera out for the next pass but nothing chased it this time.
I’ve seen many strange things in the skies over the years but this is definitely the best.
