Richard:

I think this seems to be a good answer.  There are some wildly
tumbling satellites up there, although it seems a bit late in the
night.  On Sunday at about the same time I saw a satellite
disappear into the Earth's shadow at an elevation of about 70
or 80 degrees overhead toward the East.

There are also some military photo recce planes which take
pictures with bright flashes like this.

Clear skies,
