Stephen, I suppose you meant 00:43 UT. According to http://www.heavens-above.com/ your satellite was BREEZE-M DEB (TANK) (2006-056B/ 29649). It entered Earth's shadow at 00:43:05 UTC. This month I observed several overhead passes of such objects. They were easily visible to the naked eye and reached mag +1.
