Summary : bright light travelling east to west veryhigh in the sky similar to headlights comingthrough fog then disappeared suddenly

While sitting on my front porch around 2100 Iobserved a very bright light travelling fromeast to west but incredibly high in the skymuch higher than a plane can fly. It lookedlike a headlight coming through the fog but itwas a clear night with no clouds. It wastraveling at a great rate of speed but couldnot see a shape. Then before my eyes itdisappeared. No lights were to left, right orbehind, just gone. It did not have any blinkinglights which I have observed on aircraft before.strangest thing I have ever seen, and I am astar-gazer who watches for such things.
