There are no NEOs anywhere near that bright. The only orbiting object
that bright is the ISS. Most likely, this was a VERY near Earth object,
like an airplane or weather balloon.

Saw an near earth object last night @4:45am central time. First saw it just
below polaris in the northern sky with a brightness like Venus at its
brightest. where it started was obscured by a roof. It continued in an
easternly direction passing the bottom of Cassiopea and faded out just to its
left in i think the bottom of ?Draco?
Found no postings on heavens above for an astroid passing by so if im
first this ones name is Lesa2012.
Cheers
