None of the 1564 objects in Mike McCants' file mccants.tle crossed the lunar disc as seen from your location around 21:20 UTC. Some did 5 minutes earlier or 20 minutes later. All of them were in sunlight whereas your message suggests (comparison with a bird) that it was a dark object. In that case it would have been in a lower orbit than where most LEOs reside and it would have been an object too small to be listed in the Mccants file. The satellite hypothesis is, therefore, not probable.
