Bright slow light in the sky moving from NW to SW like a satellite but very much brighter July 7th 2010

My 14 year old son and I were outside cleaning up @ 10:47 PM. When we saw a bright light moving slowly across the sky from NW to SE. The bright light did not have any blinking navigation lights so I knew it was not an airplane. There were airplanes in the area though and they all had blinking nav. Lights on. This bright light was going about the same speed as a satellite maybe a little bit faster but much slower than a meteor. It flew across the entire sky and then was gone. The light just vanished. This was a very intense light like something from spot light from far away. I wonder if it was the international space station. I don’t know. I have never seen this before.
