I was looking up, in the genral direction of Signus the Swan, at 22:20:30. The exact time was known because an Iridium flare was to occur at 22:21:34. The Alt of object was between 40 - 45 degrees, Az, from 30 degrees to 60 degrees Object was bright white, but oval in shape. It never lost nor gained in the intensity of its brightness It vanished, in a quick fade or "wink". No sound.
