Initial data
Oleg Orlov (Kamenetsky disrict, village Palise):
Sunday 17 Jun 2007, in the period of time from about 22-30 to 23-00, for a short time (about 10-15 sec) watched an interesting moving object in the evening sky. It looked like a very bright star (somewhat fainter than Venus). Moving the object in the direction South-East, straight lines with unusually high satellite velocity (and brightness very good. a great companion on the plane it was too, not like you did not meet the brightness and glow character).
This was attended by 4 of the witness (i.e. myself, my wife, a local resident Victor A. and his wife Anna A.). The funny thing is that 10-15 minutes before we were discussing the appearance of a similar object at approximately the same time of day Wednesday 13 June. I was the initiator of this conversation, because he observed the object flying through the clouds towards the North-East. It turned out that the unusual object was seen by my son (said by itself, that I had not even thought to ask).
In conversation with Victor A. revealed that he also observed this object at the same time, and defined this phenomenon as something unusual. (Victor A. - in the Soviet army, he served in air defense units in the North of the former great country, and has experience observing and identifying what flies).
During a joint observation of an object, we stood on the street, the review was good.
The verdict of "Outcome": ISS.

Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
This appearance is truly characteristic of the satellite reflecting sunlight. Maybe, of course, and the ISS, while according heavens-above.com for 2007:
