Chevron over La Conner, WA

The report, as filed

Clear night no moon I was outside in my back yard looking for the northern lights. I was out there for about 15 minutes and looking to the east when I noticed a dim object in my peripheral vision moving fast from the south. I thought it was a shooting star but it wasn't. It looked like I was looking at a straight leading edge of an object about the length of my finger held at arms length. It moved in a straight path to the north I saw it for about 4 seconds before I lost it behind some tall cedar trees. I thought that maybe I had seen the ISS but I have seen that before and this was moving too fast. 4 minutes later i was looking to the north and saw the same object moving south but this time I had a better look and it seemed the object had a slight angle to the leading edge. As it passed overhead it looked like it was translucent or maybe it was reflecting the minimal light around it. It seemed like the area behind the the leading edge where the body would ! be was distorting the sky. I saw this for about 8 seconds before i lost track of it behind the roof of my house. The object made no sound.
