It moved so quickly across the sky as if it was a plane at low altitude straight across but at such speed. I had my phone in my hand but by the time I got my camera open to video it had passed behind the house. It was amazing to witness because it wasn’t a flash and you had a little time to watch it, by the time I understood what I was looking at I realized my phone was in my hand.
