That could be -well it looks like- a NOAA satelite, ISS, Arianne, ENVISAT...
Where were you facing to? North, South.. If you give us exact time we can check at Stellarium and find out or dismiss. I just did it (for Viborg from 12 to 15h30) it and there have been dozens of satelites flying by.
But it would be very useful date and where you were facing to do it properly.
Well maybe you could check on Stellarium too
The chances of it being an alien space craft v's a terrestrial object are slim to none.

If so your object is moving west - east. Anyone know if this is consistent with a satellite?

Unless you are god, that statement is invalid

I don't think the satellites zoom that fast across the sky from our viewpoint. I also don't think they appear that big from Earth. I may be mistaken. Experts needed for sure. Nice catch, OP!edit on 6/21/2011 by new_here because: (no reason given)

Envisat has an orbital period of 100.6 minutes, NOAA 15 has one of 101 minutes, the ISS 91 minutes... So we can be comfortably lying in the grass having a picnic and these will go flying over our heads, over and over and over...
