I have just seen these posts and they jogged my memory of seeing what appeared to me to be a brightish star disappear suddenly in the vicinity of the Crux in late May.
I remember being outside and spotting a brightish star which certainly did not look familiar. Note that I assumed it was a star because it was not apparently moving like a satellite.
Anyway, I decided to go inside and get my star atlas so I could determine which star it may have been, and a few minutes later when I returned to the outdoors, the star had vanished.
