Cigar shaped object zipping then disappearing in Queens NYC

I was a passenger in my friends car looking up at the bright blue sky out of the window. I noticed a small cigar shaped shiny object in the sky. it caught my attention since it it didn't look like a plane and we are not far from the airport so I am used to those. As I was looking at it it moved quickly in a short straight line then literally snapped out of sight. I don't think the whole episode lasted more than 15-30 seconds. I kept scanning the sky but didnt see it again. No idea what it was and I wonder if others saw this in Queens today.
