    I have captured a time-lapse similar occurrence a number of months ago, and have been puzzled by it. 
    
    It seemed only to move about a degree over a minute then disappeared again. 
    
    Will try and post up a video over the next day. 
    
    I too would like some feedback on what it might be.
