Several years ago, I saw the ISS & Shuttle from the Arizona desert just after sunset. The reflected light did look yellowish. Although I typically think the smaller satellites look redish.

You might have also seen the meteorite that flashed over the Pacific Northwest or the reentry of the satellite we recently shot down. Both happened recently.
