    Probably a satellite. Might have been the ISS.

    Edit to add...

    I see for another thread here that the ISS was passing over at that time. It's a beautiful sight on these clear evenings.

    You might be right! Heading off down over the gulf now.
    Next pass is at 22:37 but it may not be lit for long or be high up.

    Yep. Definitely the station. It was around 400km above us at 9:04pm.
