Bright light lasting for 5 to 6 total Mississippi seconds flew east to west through clouds, and disappeared, ridiculous speed no sound.

I wish I had a camera. My brother-in-law and I both witnessed a bright light flying across the sky from east to west at a very rapid pace. My background is unmanned aerial systems for the United States Army. His background does not relate to the event. The light was white, and the object emitted no sound. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. And I witnessed rocket launches in South Korea. I know what a high-speed rocket looks like I know what a normal aircraft looks like and I know what high-performance aircraft look like…this was not any of those things. Shooting stars don’t fly that low.
