Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Daly City, CA, USA

Shape: Orb

I stepped outside, & saw a light move faster than any satellite I've ever seen move east to west under the moon and disappear.

I stepped outside to take a smoke. My eyes immediately were drawn to a light high in the sky, moving very swiftly to the west, just under the moon. At first, I thought it was a satellite, but it moved much faster than any satellite I've ever seen. & every satellite I've ever seen would continue to stay in vision. However, even though the area I was looking at was clear of clouds, it disappeared. It looked like it was going up into the atmosphere, not in orbit. It was by far the fastest thing I've ever seen move in the sky, with the exception of shooting stars & the fireball I witnessed for 3-4 seconds fall & break into pieces just recently (2/25/20, in the northwestern sky). I'd estimate that I saw it zip by for about 5 seconds.
