The current version of Stellarium loads satellites so you could try that to see if it can identify your object. I can't find any sats that passed by M42 on Dec 22 at around 22:30 AEST, but without knowing your location, I can't make allowances for the different parallax.

For my location Heavens Above has 32 sats that were visible between 22:00 and 23:00, so it is quite possible it was a sat.
