(meteorobs) Point Meteor or Flaring Satelite

[prospector at znet.com]

This moring at 05:32 local time I was walking under open trees and saw a
point meteor or flaring satelite just one hand length to the left of and
slightly lower than Jupitor. Jupitor was slightly brighter too, so
whaterver it was, it was -3 to -4. It lasted a few seconds, coming in from
the SSW, I couldn't detect any movement and no lights from an airplane, I
did not have my binoculars with me whcih could have resolved the problem of
identiy. Checking two satelite sites produced nothing at that time or area.
Further checking by satelite experts may prove it was a flaring satelite
which happen much more often than point meteors of any magnetude, but I
wanted to post this to perhaps generate other reports.
