Interesting. Looks fast enough to be a meteor (if in fact the video is
in real-time, not an accelerated time shot), but there is no streak or
color typical of a meteor. Seems too fast to be a satellite, but
again, I don't know if that video represents real-time. Curious.
Also, I'm no expert, this is just my layman's impression.
