Pale green bullet shaped object traveling west to east in full sunshine about 20 to 25 degrees above horizon.

As I was walking west on a country dirt road in full sunshine I saw a cigar or bullet shaped object in the southern sky about 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon.  It was very light green in color and was more like a short bullet instead of a longer cigar shape.  It was traveling from west to east in a level flight path.  
My perception was that it was about a mile or two from my location.  I watched it for 6 or 7 seconds before it disappeared from my view because of trees along the road I was walking on.  
It impacted my memory because of it's shape and color.  I had never seen any object in the sky with its distinctive pale green color.  It definitely had no perceptible wings.  It was rounded on the front and flat on the rear.  It's length was about 3 times its height. No guess as to its speed, but not extreme.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
