Rapidly floating, pure silver object seen from an airplane window.

Last summer, upon my flight from Mexico back into the United States, I was looking out the airplane window and saw what I initially thought to be a satellite--a silver, tilted rectangular object floating away from the airplane. I turned to a relative to ask if there happened to be satellites at this level, to find out that we were miles upon miles too low.

I looked again and saw the object much futher away, yet still very visible. There were no markings whatsoever on it--in fact, it was perfectly smooth with no indentations, bolts, lights, exhaust, or anything of the ilk. It was floating rapidly in a straight line. No accelerations--just a steady fast, straight dash.

A moment later, it was completely out of sight. I had a good 25 seconds to inspect this object, and I know very well that I was not hallucinating. There were no clouds at that level, and it was initially close enough to see with perfect accuracy.

What it is, I don't know--but I do know that I've never seen (or honestly, heard of) anything like it before.
