I also observed this ISS pass, and a meteor flashed past close to ISS
at one point. I doubt it was the same one seen by Sebastian in
Germany, though it may be the same one seen by Mark. It started a
moon width or so South of ISS, heading SSE, as the station reached
about 30 deg elevation in the South, and was quite bright despite the
moonlight (mag -1).
Incidently ISS got very bright after passing highest elevation - it
got to at least mag -2 for most of the remainder of the pass.

Saw exactly this last night at approx 22:01 GMT in
the SE (mid altitude).
If I didn't know any better, I think I would've
thought it was a sat decay - it really looked
like a cinder falling from the sky; fast and
bright.
