Duration: 10 sec.
No of observers: 1

Location: Olympia, WA, USA

Shape: Chevron

Saw object flying very fast, noiseless, south to north.

Partly cloudy night. The object was west of me. It caught my eye as it passed very quickly from cloud to sky. It didn't make any sound as far as I could tell, given that I can hear every other aircraft that passes anywhere near, since we're pretty much under the Sea-Tac and Olympia airport approach flight paths. No lights were visible from my angle, anyway. It's a wonder I noticed it at all given its speed and the dimness of the light. The speed is what really stood out, and probably what made me notice it. It was either very small and flying very, very low, or much larger and flying very, very fast. I think the latter is more probable since I saw it over housetops and trees and it appeared to be some distance away.
