Around 6.50am that morning at 1.9 magnitude brightest object in the sky

Can anyone shed any light?

EDIT: I guess a time would help - about 06:50
Looking at the brightest satellites that morning I would suggest that this is it :

Around 6.50am that morning at 1.9 magnitude brightest object in the sky, TFC.
