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.

First saw it just below polaris in the northern sky with a brightness like Venus at its brightest. where it started was obscured by a roof. 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?
