[sac-forum] Anyone else see it?

At 6AM this morning, I was out in the backyard (NE Phoenix) and saw a very bright object (~-5 mag.?) moving steadily across the sky from the SSW to the NNE, crossing in front of Alnilam (middle belt star) in Orion. It was bright across the sky and faded in luminosity slightly as it reached about 25° down in the NNE wherein it dipped below the roof line of my house. I viewed it for about 2-3 minutes. Any guesses what it was?
