Orange oval craft with an agenda

On the 23rd of June 25, 2009, at 11:58 PM, GPS position 38* 34' 07.56 N by 86* 28' 25.72 W, in Paoli, Indiana 47454. I witnessed an unidentified flying object traveling from West to East, across a clear starry night sky. While waiting in my car and leaning out the window admiring the stars overhead and two distant aircraft strobe lights, one flying south toward Louisville, KY and the other towards the Northeast, cruising between 30 to 35 thousand feet, the object suddenly shot overhead.

The UFO was an oval shape, burnt orange in color, altitude about 15-25 thousand feet, suddenly appeared overhead, traveled from West to East at an extremely high rate of speed. Its path was horizontal, straight and true, not a random entry of space debris, meteors or fireballs. The event lasted no more than 3 seconds to cross the night sky, and did not leave a signature trail, and then disappear from my view.

I had a strange sensation that this was not a random object, but rather, a controlled object with an agenda to be somewhere in a hurry. I have worked with the Air Force at NASA with some very sophisticated aircraft and equipment (Top-Secret) and never seen an object move this quickly. I believe no human could survive the G-forces in this craft, and I have not witnessed anything in our arsenal capable of attaining its speed.

The size of the object was very hard to determine, since many factors could have altered my perception, but best guess, was the size of a Learjet. No visible signs, or traces of propulsion, no audible sounds (its velocity should have broken the sound barrier and every window within forty miles?) The object was not an illusion, reflection, or projection due to its relationship and trajectory to other objects in the night sky.

It's sudden appearance, speed and controlled flight has bewildered my explanation of the object I witnessed.
