Did anyone else see a UFO zip by while watching the ISS pass overhead?

Mrs. Winit and I was watching the ISS traveling into the southeast sky and we caught a pentagon shaped pattern of lights gliding quickly from west to east in a arrow-straight path just above the tree-line.
As I was exclaiming "wow" she was saying "look at that!". We saw it for about 5 seconds as it came into view from behind a tree and then went out of view behind another tree.
I've never seen anything like that even though I've been trying to see one forever.
Just wondering if anyone else saw it.

Shouldn’t she be “Mrs Init”?

No, just a blurry bigfoot and a sea monster

A flying big-footed sea monster?
Could be!

Sure didn't, but if it helps you i can contact my source at the United States Air Force and get back to you. Unfortunately what information she has may indeed be classified. Regards.

Flash

"All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus."

Definitely not a drone. I've seen many drones at night.
None could appear to move that quickly from that distance. Also it was pretty large and pentagon-shaped. No blinking lights. Not very bright lights, slightly brighter than stars. Definitely not meteors either.
I'll be watching again tomorrow. The ISS will passing higher in the sky tomorrow.

Way too fast for a satellite. There were five lights in a pentagon pattern.
It just smoothly zoomed by. It either made no sound or it was too far away to hear.
It was large enough though that I thought it was close enough to hear but we listened and there was nothing.

1. What color was it?
2. Did it stop at any moment?
3. Was there any strange smell associated with seeing it?
4. Did you notice anything strange environmentally? (Animals, trees, etc)

1. There appeared to be five lights a little brighter than stars perhaps equally spaced. Since it was not overhead but in the distance above the horizon but not far away because of its size we were viewing it in perspective. The "body" of it just looked like a shadow zooming across our view.
2. No stopping, very smooth movement. The lights did not move at all in relation to each other.
3. No olfactory sensations at all related to it.
4. Nothing else strange at all. There were two aircraft high in the sky right afterwards but appeared to not be related at all.
I live about 1/4 mile from the Mississippi River and if I had to guess I'd say it was over Lukeville or maybe even Addis heading directly towards the river.

I'm always outside looking towards the heavens at night. I'm jealous I missed this!
