The Boeing X-37B is a secret spacecraft that resembles a miniature Shuttle Orbiter. It carries out classified missions for the US Space Force / DARPA, staying in orbit for several months at a time.
You stand a good chance of observing it just before dawn for the next few days, since it passes close to Venus in the dawn sky. It's not a particularly bright object - around 2nd magnitude - but if you have clear skies and binoculars you could well catch a glimpse! The chart below is for Norfolk, February 26th
