ISS, Tiangong, Satellites Over Puna

[TomK]

Thanks, Pilgrim. The reason I asked is there were a number low Earth orbit satellites passing over Hawaii nearer 7:30 pm - none of them particularly bright, but certainly visible to the naked eye.

My guess right now is that you saw an old rocket body, but the ones I see in the database would have traveled south to north which doesn't match your description.

In any case, your description is consistent with a satellite/rocket body/debris as they will either pass SW to NE or NW to SE. It certainly wasn't the ISS, the Chinese space station and definitely not an Iridium flare. You also have to remember there are probably a number of military satellites in that sort of orbit and their data aren't available to most of us. I'll keep checking though.
