Two faint non-blinking lights traveling at high speed intersecting path of an aircraft (with the standard blinking lights)
I was watching an aircraft going over, directly above me, from East to West. The aircraft had the standard blinking lights. Suddenly, I saw a faint light, mostly round as far as I could see, that was NOT blinking, go almost perpendicular, from North to South, crossing the path of the aircraft, directly over me. The faint light was moving at a very fast speed in comparison to the aircraft. I was saying, "wow!" to myself, wondering what the heck it was. And then, within a few seconds, a second light followed, on the exact same N to S path of the first light, also NOT blinking. The first light seemed to intersect the path of the aircraft directly above me. The second light was behind the aircraft with the blinking lights. I tried to see if I could see the lights further south from my position, to see if they were continuing on the same N to S path, but just about the time the second light went by, my porch light went on (it's on a motion sensor), and I was blinded from seeing their trajectory after the initial sighting. The first light had given me that "wow!" feeling, like the "goosebumps" type of thing, but when I saw the second light go by, it was a big WOW!, and I probably woke my neighbors! I was outside with my two dogs when this happened. I can not explain those two lights, but I am wondering if the pilot(s) of the aircraft had seen it, since it appeared the first light would have been directly above them.
