Oscar A. Rodriguez / PMEE-SPACE posted the following link to 
the SeeSat-L mailing list.  It has Saturday's date and looks
entirely different, and the narration (in Spanish) says that
it lasted two minutes, I believe.  This one to me looks like
it might possibly be a sunset-illuminated aircraft contrail,
but a somewhat unusual one.  (Recently there was a photograph 
of one of those on Yahoo/Reuters, saying it was a "fireball" 
over Thailand in 1999.  It was obviously an aircraft contrail 
lit by reddened sunlight.)  If this one really lasted a couple 
of minutes, perhaps it might have been a re-entry, although to
my knowledge we still aren't aware of any that match for 
either Saturday or Sunday.
