Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Fast moving tic tac shaped craft flew over head illuminated only by city lights.

I was standing outside on 23/8/22 at approx (21:30) 9:30pm facing north north west looking in the direction of Cygnus when this fast cylinder shape came out of the north heading south illuminated only by the city lights with no sound. The size at arms length would have been an inch and I approximate it's speed to be around 1500 to 2000 mph as it covered my field of view in less than half a second if that. It was so fast that had I not have been looking in that direction it may as well as not to have happened. By far the fastest thing I have ever witnessed and am glad to have at least seen it.

I actively scan the night sky nightly for such things and have caught some on video and will continue to do so but this item flew by in a blink of an eye.
Keep looking up!
