A possible satellite observation?

I stumbled across an article called "A Starlike Glow on the Gibbous Moon"
written by an amateur astronomer. The observation was made this past at about
4:50 on 26 January UTC (11:50 p.m. on 25 January EST), and the observer says
that the light on the Moon lasted several minutes. Here's the URL of his
article:

His location seems to have been in or near Richmond Township, Rhode Island,
USA, which is at about 41.500N, 71.661W. I checked on high-eccentricity
objects for that epoch, but I don't have a geosynch elset file for that date.
