Small point of light moving at high speed and high altitude in a northerly direction across the sky.
I was using binoculars to look at Antares in the southern sky. Without the binoculars I started looking to the east when I spotted a very small white dot moving south to north. I quickly found the point of light with my binoculars and noticed that is was steady white with no colored or blinking lights. I watched the light, without the binoculars, until it went out of view behind a tree.
It seemed to be at a very high altitude, very far away and moving very fast across the sky. I thought it might be a satellite, but I was unsure if satellites travel from south to north across the sky. It was not a shooting star.
