I did observe a slow moving object in a very fuzzy sky at the right time, 18h56 UTC. Trajectory was similar to the elset given by C. Bassa except for the time It was slowly tumbling (mag 2 to invisible - few seconds period). It entered shadow just before Capella I think it was the main stage of Ariane rocket J.-P.
