Bright elongated arrow shaped obgect moving from No. to So. at a very high rate of speed. Passed over a 747 leaving Sea-Tac A.P.

I was working on the back side of the barn when I heard a jet flying over. I always look up because jets fly out of Seattle-Tacoma Intntl Airport right over the farm. This jet was making the typical 747 rumble in the sky so I looked up. It was heading SE. suddenly I noticed the a bright object was flying high in the sky to the left of the 747. The object flew over the top of the 747. The object was much higher then the 747 which I figure at 4-5 thousand feet. This object was at least 20 thousand feet or higher. The object left on contrail but other jets in the sky at high altitude were. The object was heading toward the sun so I soon lost sight of it. One other thing, as it flew forward it looked like the object "skipping" left and right of a straight line. The shape of the object was elongated arrow shaped. Color- It was reflecting the sun light. I couldn't hear any noise because of the jet. This sighting lasted less then 2 minutes. The object was fly at a very high speed for the altitude it was at.
