Default Barium release or satellite boost?

Around 8:57 PM EDT, 15 degrees due east from Arcturus I saw a fairly
bright cloud-like glow drifting slowly northeast. It wasn't a cloud,
it was perfectly clear otherwise. The glow had a spiked point that
stayed farly much intact until I lost it after Moonrise. It was about
30' in size when first observed & expanded to about 1 degree before
fading.

This was observed from Central Kentucky around 37 34 North & 84 36
West. Did anybody else catch this?
