Probably a background star or planet, since it seemed to have the same relative movement and speed as the Sun (not their actual velocity but the speed of the sped-up video clip), as seen from the geostationary satellite that took the video. If my eyes aren't deceiving me, the object also dimmed somewhat before disappearing behind the Earth because it was obscured momentarily by the tiny sliver of atmosphere around the curvature. Just my guess, though. Cool vid, in any case. ;)
I actually witnessed the re entry last night at about 1:54 mountain time. Purely by chance too!!! And on the 2:oo news it was reported to have just come down.. I was looking eastward from Hinton Alberta . I received a phone call at that time and stepped outside to take it, and viola!!

Sorry, for that to have been UARS it would have been right down on the disc of the earth. That was probably another satellite.
