Well you definitely described a flare of something that looks like a satellite. I wonder if the new Galileo stuff flares like the Iridium, and if so are they in the databases yet? Iridium flares can get to -7.8 or so if you are dead center on the flare path; the brightest I usually see are about -5 or so, just about twice as bright as Venus.
