Glad I saw this thread, I saw this today at 06:50. At first glance it looked like a normal star but then got bigger and brighter before fading to nothing. This happened a fair bit above Jupiter and to the right.

exactly what I saw just different time my time was 06.17am so it was in same area just higher up

Will hopefully see it again tomorrow at a higher point and at a later time. Seems to be a pattern forming.
