Shape: Orb

Flash (meteor?) followed a “star” move quickly from left to right, in upside down arch.

This is creeping me out. Second time in 3 weeks I’ve watched “stars” move. Tonight star gazing on my deck. Saw a flash out of my left peripheral vision, thought maybe it was a late perseid meteor. Looked to the area and saw what i thought was a star, until the damn thing started moving. It was at about my 10oclock, went kind of down to the right then in an upside down arch like a smile, kind of down, over and up to about 2 o’clock, then faded away by the bottom of the Big Dipper. It was moving damn fast and scared the crap out of me. Not an international flight, as I see them regularly and know what they look like. This was WAY up high, fast and freaky. There’s a bunch of light pollution to my north, where I lost sight of it.
