This is the second time in 2 nights my gf and I both seen this light moving in the perfectly clear night sky. By the time I picked both of them up, they were about a 45 degree angle and continued at the same speed across the horizon, moving at the speed of a plane I would say. It was not the ISS as I checked the location of its path, and it was not a plane, it never blinked or made noise as a jet would. If it was a sat., the sun was reflecting a HUGE amount of light on it.
This was the largest and brightest object I have ever seen moving in the sky at night, and I have seem alot over the years.
My eyes will be peeled again tonight and I will take photos and videos.

Possibly an Iridium Flare?
I've seen a few in my time, the satellites move across the sky then suddenly brighten up by massive amounts for a few seconds although i have seen one last for 30 seconds or so. Actually more common than you think especially if you look up often.
