Igor,

A possibility would be 17527/87018A.  It seems to be a relatively dim sat 
but with it low in the western sky during your observation, it is a 
possibility.

According to SatSpy2 it passed near Gamma And at 22:18:30 (Local) in the 
proper direction. I'm not familar with its possible flashing history.

Try the following TLE and see how it looks to you.

MOS 1            2.4  1.5  1.3  6.9 d
1 17527U 87018A   97067.21888618 -.00000043  00000-0  00000+0 0  5215
2 17527  98.8992 128.9597 0020088 319.2596  40.7064 14.00418853511948
