Shape: Circle

I was on my hammock with my 19 mos. old son -- I was trying to rock him to sleep when I saw a small circular pinpoint -- green in hue -- in the western sky -- traveling north at slightly downward trajectory. It was fast -- it took all of 2-3 seconds, I've seen my share of shooting stars -- this was diffrent -- smooth -- no tail. My son, who is just learning to talk, even commented "wow". It was midway up in the sky looked at least ten miles away -- If I would have blinked -- I would have missed it.
