Unidentified satellite transit

Hoping somebody can help me identify this weird-looking satellite that transited the Moon, taken at 9:57pm tonight (EDT), 24 Dec 2015. Can't find anything in Heavens Above. My location is Bright in Victoria (36.7 S, 147.0 E) if that helps. Thanks in advance.

Cheers -
