Last night ISS was flying over my location (southern Ontario, 6:48 EST) and it was clear for the first time in weeks, so I went outside to see it. To my delight, there was a second smaller object orbiting about 1 degree ahead of the station.

I looked on all the lists of departures and arrivals I could find, but I could not get an identification for it - not Soyuz, not Dragon. Am I missing something? Any clues?

Apparently it was junk they ejected. It will enter the atmosphere soon to burn up.
