What can I see in the sky?

I'm in London. Looking east, there's what looks like a row of maybe three white lights, very close together so must be one thing, not moving. It's not overhead, it's at maybe a 45 degree angle to the horizon. I googled ISS and it doesn't seem to be that.

@RiftGibbon

The Vogons would be quite a welcome distraction right now. Let me just get my towel and have some peanuts.
12 pints of beer please.

It's early for the perseids, maybe around midnight. We are in the middle of sheet lightning here but no rain or thunder, I've just been taking photos of it.

Thanks for all the comments! Maybe it was Elon Musk's thingy? Will Google. It really wasn't anything shooting, the movement was hard to spot.

It's the SkyTrain thing. Huge amount of clutter spoiling the skies.😢

@Muddybootsblister

I’m in Devon and my husband is excitedly watching some sort of meteors that are passing by this week. Looked like a fleeting stripe in the sky to me but he was very pleased... He has also (allegedly) identified Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn but I said to him ‘you’re talking out of Uranus’.
DC saw a meteor last night, and also identified a few planets, including Saturn, or so they said. DD had an app they were using.
