I was observing a very bright "Star" or planet , it began moving!

I was standing in my back yard doing some early morning star gazing and playing with my new binoculars. It was just about 4 am when i fixed my sight on, what i thought to be, a very bright star or planet. My binocs were not focused so i took a second to adjust, then looked back at the object. I just had my binoculars focused when i noticed the object started to move. My heart started beating real fast as i watched it pass directly over my house.

The object was a brilliant white point in the sky larger and brighter than any sattalite or planet I have ever watched in the sky. The object moved on a straight path from West/N.W. to East/S.E. It made no sound and, from my best quess was at an elevation equal to or slightly higher than airliners at their maximun cruzing altitude. The object had no other lights blinking or otherwise that i could see, it was traveling at a very high speed.

As soon as it passed over me i ran to the back door of my house and started to pound on it, my body tingling from my adrenaline rush, i had to get a second opinion or maybe just have someone else see it too. The door opened and i pointed to the sky and said "so, tell me what you think of that, I was wathing it through my binocs , i could of swore it was stationary, they all of the sudden it was moving!! The other person said "I dunno, Ive never seen anything like that before." I continued to watch it as it dissapeard into the sky it didnt go over the mountains and disappear, it sort of faded in the distance then abruptly disappeard.

I then jumped on-line and tried to find a website that could tell me about sattalites and their course they fly. I found a few that sould have been in the area at the time but none with the heading i observed, but i am an amature when it comes to interpereting the information on the websites.

What did I see?
