I saw something but we have have some differnces in observation. I saw it at the zenith and watched it travel out of site in the SE as you did. It was slightly yellowish and a guess of it's size later would be approx 10". I did not see it blink but watched it travel relatively slower. From my location in Springvale the time from first Ob's to disappearing not far from horizon which took a little less than 2 minutes. It was only luck that I saw it because I went outside with Bino's to check out the sky transparency due to smoke pollution, before lugging heavy scope and EQ6 outside. Logged it as soon as I went back inside. Steven PS approx Magnitude -1 to -2 (Very bright)
