To be really NE->SW the orbit would have to be considerably retrograde with inclination around 140 degrees or so. There are few objects in such orbits. Incidentally HA shows that the object you are referring to is the rocket of C 1315. Cosmos 1315 itself is not giving visible transits at the position you mention in your signature.
