What did I see?

Hi,

Last night about 8:00 pm I was securing the backyard for the night and
caught a very bright dot half way up the sky due north. It reminded me
of the brightness of Venus as seen in binoculars. It faded out quite
quickly in about 2 seconds after I first caught sight of it. The
oddest thing is that the sky was overcast and there were no airplanes
in the vicinity. Could an Irridium flare be seen through cloud cover?
And aren't those satellites usually in the south? Maybe the ISS?

Thanks for any info.
