Sorry I couldn't help more, Pilgrim. There were a couple of objects that match the direction you mentioned plus the time, both Cosmos rocket bodies (large remains of Russian rockets) and they're both in low Earth orbit, so would appear to move quickly. They would have both been visible to the naked eye, passed relatively close to the moon but I wouldn't call them bright, at least they weren't predicted to be bright, but would have been easily visible. It's the best I can find that comes close to your description.
