This was definitely a satellite or very high orbit craft. The North to South trajectory was very interesting. I do want to know that I am not reporting this as a meteor or anything. Please email me with any questions and I'm sorry I did not get any video or photography of it

Remarks
Almost like a satellite and very low orbit but never seen anything quite so low almost seemed like that it passenger jet altitude of like 30,000 ft but moving too fast. I do live at the edge of Mendocino and Caspar and so it was kind of hard to hear if I heard any Sonic booms or if it was the waves crashing because we do have a surf advisory right now
