Rotating tic-tac shaped object rotating end over end

My sister and I were outside around 10:50 p.m. testing out a thermal monocular I had recently purchased. I spotted several birds resting in trees and a raccoon climbing a tree. I heard a plane flying overhead and tracked it across my field of view with the monocular. After it had passed from view, I remarked to my sister that I could see different insects flying around the treetops.

While observing the insects, I had an object come into my field of view for a total of about 6 seconds. My sister couldn't see it with her naked eye. The object, shaped like a tic-tac was rotating end over end and covered my field of view in 6 seconds. The jet I had observed earlier in the same field of view covered the distance in about 55 seconds.

The object was traveling North west in a straight line from the South East. It had a faint glow to it in the Thermal monocular. I had no problem tracking it. The rotation was smooth end over end. I've spent another 2 hours viewing that night and saw nothing that resembled the object. I've watched the space shuttle fly over on its descent to land several times before and the tic tac object was moving faster.
