MAN! It was VERY cool! and VERY bright! It was very early twilight, so the sky was still plenty bright. It was very plainly seen in the still lit sky. It was MUCH brighter than any streetlights which had just turned on. It had a very short visible path (at least that I noticed). The only thing I can say for sure about its trajectory is that it had a n eastward component.
