[meteorite-list] NEO LAST NIGHT

[Chris Peterson]

There are no NEOs anywhere near that bright. The only orbiting object 
that bright is the ISS. Most likely, this was a VERY near Earth object, 
like an airplane or weather balloon.

It continued in an easternly direction passing the bottom of Cassiopea and faded out just to its left in i think the bottom of  ?Draco?
