Very bright non-flashing red light traveling from north to south -----

Clear night. Very bright non-flashing red light going from north to south moving approximately twice as fast as the usual satellites that my wife and I see at night, as we sit out on our deck watching for them. We generally see from two to three each night.

Also, the red light was much brighter than the brightest planet. Even brighter than the space station.

Really couldn’t estimate the altitude though.

The night before, we witnessed what looked like a close call of a meteor and a satellite. We were watching the satellite when a meteor flashed right in front of it. A millisecond apart. Of course we couldn’t estimate the difference in altitude between the two. It was just something that we had never seen before.
