    Thanks to Ted , Bjorn and a sighting by Russell we seem to have resolved
    this.
    It looks like what I saw was..............
    
     Resurs 1-4   (25394 1998-043-A)
     Transit      21h25m32s   4.6m  az: 70.0d ENE  h:68.7d
    
    Despite the predicted magnitude it flared to around mag -1 as described by 
    Russell.
    
    First time I have noticed this bird.....and the images from the chance 
    capture last night seem to tie in with the Resurs 1  series design.
