At 1st, thought it was meteor, but it kept going.

I am 62 and have seen many sights in the sky at night (auroras,ISS, numerous satellites) I can't explain this. At 10:12pm EST, just finished fishing. Sky had cleared (partly cloudy) and was looking for aurora lights since we were in a auroral storm. Standing by car looking straight up, observed what I thought was a short burst of a meteor and it was from straight up heading southeast. Object was in path toward small cloud. 1 second later, object appeared on other side of cloud and continued on a southeast path for about 4 seconds. It was hard for me to focus on it since it appeared almost transparent. Like a ghost plane (?) A little lighter than a cloud at night. No sound or lights, but able to see due to clear sky and light colored object. It was definetly not a meteor due to speed and color, shaped like a stretched triangle, almost plane or bird shaped. It was not a bird or plane due to speed. Too fast for bird and plane. Too fast for satellite. I have no logical answer for what I saw.
