A bright white sphere seen in the night sky

In the Spring of 1966 or 1967 a high school classmate of mine and I were attending a nighttime party at another classmate’s home. There was no alcohol involved. Two of us took a ride on his motorcycle in the countryside when we both spotted a windowless, small bright white object suddenly appear in the sky, move horizontally very rapidly in a straight line and then suddenly disappear. We did not believe it was a plane or a weather balloon or a “shooting star” because it moved so fast. We both felt an odd sensation on the back of our necks. It did not make a sound and there was no visible means of propulsion.
