ISS solar transit?

Wow.
I was just taking a look at the huge sunspot 1084 and some
interesting filaments, when quick movement caught my eye.
As soon as I focused on it, the dark rectangular silhouette
left the solar disk, but it sure looked like the ISS in that brief moment. grin
The time was 18:05 PST. I'll have to verify that somehow.

Hmm. Apparently not.
The ISS is currently over the Cook Islands, per Heavens Above.
That should put it far below my horizon.
So, I wonder what that was...
I've seen jets before. It didn't look like that.
Any ideas?
