Bright white light in eastern sky
At about 2125 Central time tonight there was a really bright white light in the eastern sky. It was about -14°, below Eridanus area, a fair bit above Rigel. I was viewing M43 at the time and saw it out the top of my eye. It looked like it was heading toward Canopus traveling N to S reasonably quick. I thought it might have been a satellite or the ISS so I tried to follow it with my scope for 10 seconds or so. Then it stopped and was stationary for another 5 seconds or so. I was just about focused on it then it disappeared. Completely. Like gone. WOW! Anyone else see it, or know what it might have been?
