Another "What is it?"

Last evening (21:47:45 EDT; 01:47:45, 5/5/97 UTC,) while I was waiting for
NORAD 23342 (Resues O1-3) to pass directly overhead from the SSE to the NNW,
I saw an object (~mag 3.5) traveling directly overhead but from due north
to due south. It disappeared into the earth's shadow at about 75 deg
above the horizon at about 01:48:00 UTC due south from my location -
39.1795 E; 76.8418 W.
Any Ideas?
