David,
A little late to the discussion but could what you observed have been a satellite flare? What triggered this speculation is today's arrival of the October issue of "Sky & Telescope" magazine which has an article on "Observing Geosat Flares". In the past I have had a lot of fun observing naked eye satellite passes.
Cheers,
Robert
