NARRATIVE

At 9:36pm PDT on 05-06-09, I was on the front porch having a smoke.  I then saw a very rapidly moving light, colored pinkish white, having an estimated magnitude of -6 to -8 on the stellar intensity scale, an altitude of less than 1 mile (there were stratus clouds at the time; this would have obscured it totally had it been any higher), and it had the apparent diameter of Jupiter as seen by the unaided eye.
This light moved *VERY RAPIDLY* across the sky to the south-southwest (the total time it was visible is estimated to be 200ms or 1/5th of a second).  When I first saw it, its azimuth appeared to be ~30°.
There was no engine sound whatsoever (yes, I listened quite carefully for this), and it moved far too quickly to be a terrestial aircraft.
