Transient in nature, lasting for a few seconds, seen a couple of times, but urban light pollution made it hard to be certain. Milky Way visible as were both Magellanic Clouds. Call it a "possible". IBC value 1. Sky clear at the time, sharp star images suggested no cirrus. Nothing sighted in the following 20 minutes, after which low cumulus rolled in from the east.
