It was early and I was taking my wife to work so I wasnt quite awake yet, but I thought it was a low flying plane at first because of how fast it was moving. Then I noticed there was only white light and no colored lights that are on planes. There also appeared to be a small tail coming off the back. I only saw it for 5-10 seconds as it was low enough that trees partially obstructed the view.
