It was a cloudy evening but it was still very bright as it appeared from my left side heading towards the horizon from the southwest to northeast. Had I blinked I wouldn’t have seen it as it was gone in a second or two at the most. If I were to hold my arm out straight and held my hand up it would have been the size of my smallest fingernail. The “head” was not visible or went by so fast I didn’t see it.. Also it may have happened on the 19th because only now finding out where to report this I I’m only 99% sure it was the Monday the 18th.
