Location: Guntersiville, AL, USA
Location details: Object appeared to be flying above the Tennessee River from west to east

Shape: Other

Object was bright white, flying horizontally moving faster than any aircraft I seen, (I was a Navy pilot)

Object was bright white, shaped like a stubby football, flying horizontally moving faster than any prop aircraft I've seen, (I was a Navy pilot) I would estimate the size of it to be a slight bit larger than a private aircraft. There were no contrails or other exhaust indications. I was indoor and heard no sound. Never saw anything like it before except on TV. Most aircraft I've seen seem to be flying "slowly" in nearby skies; not this object. It seem to be moving at least twice the speed of prop aircraft in this area. I would estimate it's altitude to be between 1 -2 thousand feet. There is a small private airport about 5 miles to my north.

P.S. It follows the Good Year blimp that flew a similar path a few days before. I have a video of that.
