Could it have been a satellite? And you just caught it at its closest to you and reflecting light?

Evening all. Thought I would drop by and give you an interesting experience that my friend and I witnessed.
We were standing outside on the balcony, facing East. Other than noticing only a few lingering contrails, the sky was extremely clear. From our point of view, the moon is positioned southwest in the sky. I was glancing the stars when I looked directly up and saw a bright light. For a second I thought it was just another star but it was too bright and too big to be. As soon as that thought struck me the light began moving and fading out. Before I knew it, it vanished. The whole process was less than 5 seconds. Whatever it was, I think it knew I noticed it.
Just an experience that doesn't happen often so I thought I would share.

Found the schedule. The only possible one it could be was for the 23rd at 04:38 UTC which would make it 00:38 EST. Unless the prediction was somehow off a period of almost 24 hours. Also, the satellite you're questioning was supposed to be coming from the north. When it started to fade it was moving northeast not southwest.
