Viewed from cockpit of aircraft at 37000'. Was visible for two or three minutes. Seemed close by due to it overtaking us, however it was probably quite a few hundred kms away. it appeared to at the same level as us or slightly below us. I perceived it to be space junk re entry as it was visible for so long.
