Pinwheel with star like center.

Date and time may not be accurate.  This occured somtime in the 80's.  I was a young child when this occured.  
My mother and I were observing a meteor shower and saw a pinwheel with a brightly light center, almost like a star.  It was traveling from south to north across the east sky.  The object made no sounds.  Can provide GPS data and angles if needed.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
