unknown object help

Hey all just getting into this and am using a pair of 10x50 until I save some funds for a scope I have spotted an orange light trekking from south to north I assume its a satellite as it moves too fast and too high for a plane and has no other lights but the closest one is the
x-37b otv3 but that is heading in a different direction. Im a bit confused as to what it may be its not visible to the naked eye and this is the 3rd time I have seen it all times are betwene 5:45-6:00 am would anyone here know what I saw or has seen it too?

It is likely SL-3 R/B (Soyuz SL-3 rocket body). This one made a pass during the time you mentioned on 4/5, 5/6 & 6/6 (Did not check other days).

The magnitude is about 3.5 but varies as it rises and sets.

I used Satellite Safari 1.6.4 app and also GoSatWatch 3.2 app (both payware).
