Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

A vary fast moving Jupiter size light, looking north in central Indiana going east to west for about 6-10 seconds.

While my neighbor and I were walking the kids trick or treating, I looked north and saw what seemed to be at a far distance looking to be the size of Jupiter. This light was traveling at a very high rate of speed going east to west. As I looked up and seen this object, I had to focus and realize what I was seeing, I then pointed it out to my neighbor who then saw it for several seconds. This was absolutely not a plane. Plus, there was no meteor tail at all to be seen. I spend a many nights outside looking up for any thing that moves, and have never seen anything move at that rate besides a meteor moving a bit faster. But the length of the movement was much longer than any meteor I've seen.
