No wings, flew fast, no noise, not on flight maps. White in color, sparkled in the morning sun and then vanished out of sight.

Saw what looked like an airplane without wings. No tail wings either, was low enough to see body of craft without wings, saw airplane further with wings easily visible. Crows around flew away, heard flapping of wings.

Flew very fast pretty low but not as low as helicopters. Made no noise whatsoever, waved at it. As it flew east. Checked live flight maps shortly after, no sign of it on radars.
