Default I saw something

Hi everybody,

today, as I was doing my usual scope viewing, I was looking at orion
nebula as I saw something passing in front of my view. it was as big
as I see Jupiter from my 127mm newtonian scope, and half as bright.

Any ideas of what it might habe been? It didn' flicker as airplanes
do, though it's brightness were somewhat variable throughout the 6
( more or less ) seconds it passed in my view. As the color, it wasn't
really white, but not quite yellow either.

It was around 10:00pm ( UTC -03:00 ) that the reffered object was
seen.

If anybody could give me an insight on that one, I'd appreciate it a
lot!
