Where in the sky was this? Directly overhead, towards the east, what? How high above the horizon?

If it was a geosynchronous satellite or two, it would be about where all the Direct TV dishes are pointing...

They were to my SE. Dishes in this area orient to the SW. I'd put the angle at @ 75-80 degrees. Geosynchronous satellites orbit only over the equator. I was at @ 40-46 north.

I don't know exactly what I saw, iow, I can't identify it. Nothing in my experience or education satisfies my question about it. I'm just reporting things exactly as I saw them.
