Streek-of-Light moving East-to-West over Route-93 north in Windham NH

It was 5:30 on a monday morning, I had just left work in Ma, and was heading home to Derry NH. The weather was clear skys, very very cold wind chill around -20. I was driving north on Rt:93 in between exit #2 and # 3, there was light traffic in front of me, about 3 or 4 cars, distanced greatly.

There is a police cut out road to the left of me that I pass, and I big cell tower I can just about see with it's blinking red light- just coming into view. Out of no where this light comes streeking thru the sky from east to west. The color was an intence white, ( like the color of a laser as it starts to bore though metal ) Flashy bright. This thing moved so fast it was gone behind the tree line in a blink of an eye. I know the other drivers saw it, due to them hitting there breaks, and there lights going on as it passed. The object if sizing from where I was, was about an- inch above the blinking tower, and was about the size of the tip of a match, *if you hold your hand extened outward. It seemed to leave a very light tail behind it. I have seen shooting stars, but this thing was bigger than anything I have ever seen, and due to it's direction, it did not appear to be decending, but moving from right to left. But it had the speed of a shooting star. Right after it passed, there was a jet with red blinking lights, that came over passed the cell tower on the same course that the streek moved on, but it was moving much much much slower.
