Whitish orb seen flying above Camborne also splits

While playing a video game with my son, we looked out of our front room window to see what looked like a bright white orb flying towards our house from the north, heading south. Approximately half way along our line of site, the object began to split into two parts that looked the same as the first one. These carried on traveling in the same direction and flew over our house and out of view. The object looked the same as something i saw in Bude back in 1997.
