Details:
I went out on the morning of March 19th to capture the ISS flyover. It was a long fly over that morning and was basically coming straight overhead of me. As I opened the shutter and watched it fly over I noticed another object preceding the ISS which was flying the same path, I thought this was odd and later that day I found out that on that morning around 05:11 CST they released the SpaceX CRS-Dragon from the ISS. Is it possible that I caught the Dragon preceding the ISS? Since it had a long flyover time I was able to capture two photos, one coming at me and the other while it was overhead. I've posted this on various Facebook pages like NASA, SpaceX, sites pertaining to the ISS and have had no responses. What do you think? As I post this I do not have access to my original photos so I cannot look at the time stamp but believe it was about an hour or a little more after it was released. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, it is the only thing I could think of. I looked at sites that showed satellite paths and times and nothing was even close and after hearing about the Dragon, it is the only thing I could come up with.
