Extremely fast and dim, meteorlike.

I woke up early and stepped outside for a minute for a look up as is my routine. I immediately witnessed a meteorlike streak which seemed twice as fast as any meteor I've seen. The brightness was barely perceptible. My initial response was that it was very low elevation object.
