Hello,

Friday evening(April 7) at 21h12mUTC I saw a bright satellite(mag +2)
moving from roughly RA 08h20m Dec 27d13m to RA07h12m Dec 39d19m.

I thought it would be easy to identify this satellite but untill now I
could not find anything but debris and satellites moving in opposite
direction.

Positional data is very rough and could be off for 5 degrees. Time of
observation is accurate to 1 minute.
Observing place is Bruges(see below)

Can someone identify this one ?

Thanks
