Is someone else visiting the Moon?

Last night I went outside to photograph the International Space Station (its second of three passes, at 10.00pm) After the ISS passed into eclipse, I turned my camera southwards towards the gibbous Moon: as I started a series of 20 exposures, I noticed two objects moving towards the Moon from the west. The brighter, higher of the two changed direction twice before passing in front of the moon: it reappeared (alone) a few seconds later. What were these objects? Were they in Earth orbit, or beyond the Moon?
