Flashing light, not an aircraft or shooting star. Rapid directional change.
I was taking photographs of the stars, long exposures, at night. I saw what I thought was a shooting star in my peripherals, and just like a shooting star, it came and went in about a second.
Then, I saw it flash again, and again, in a straight line. I thought it was a plane, the average light flashing. However, it was moving at an amazing speed. I noticed it didn't have red/green lights. Just one white light.
When it flashed again, it had changed course by about 30 degrees in a span of time nothing of my knowledge could have done. It changed course in between flashes.
Then, it stopped flashing and disappeared.
It was my first sighting I'm sure of.
