Hope you are all keeping well! Saw a bright UNID tonight 4-29 in evening twilight. It was heading SW to NE. At 20:15:00 local time = 4-30-05 3:15:00 UTC, it passed 5 deg E of eta UMa (tail of the Big Dipper) heading down into the NE. Magnitude 1.5. It was moving about 1.8 times faster than Cosmos 1220, which made a good bright pass heading to the N. I could not identify it with the catalog.txt file from Space-Track, even lowering limiting magnitude to 9. Suggestions welcome!
