Looking for your opinion on this object re-entering. Sorry I didn't have a watch for a more accurate time, but between 10 and 10:30 pm CDT on the 20th, I saw a fairly bright object re-entering traveling almost due north with a little westward component added in. It appeared directly overhead and flared to a peak of around -2 mag. by the time it reached just above and left of polaris. Is it possible for that to be a standard meteor or maybe something man made, since with was slightly retrograde. It wasn't a sat flare as I see them pass over all the time out here. It was definitely re-entering and was really moving fast.
