Not an airliner... the wings were not swept like almost all airliners. Also all airliners have clear red/green position lights.

It was late and I was sleepy (I think it was the night I was up trying to catch Perseids). I’d estimate the thing was maybe 20 arc minutes (a 747 cruising at ~9000m would be about 25, the moon is about 32).

Wings were unswept like I said, but wider than the global hawk, non tapering, and square at ends. That’s all I got. Silhouette was actually like a small plane. And it must have been light colored (white or beige)

That’s all I got. I remember thinking at the time “spy plane?” But might have been some other weird aircraft. Initially due to sleepiness I thought it was actually solar panels on a large low-flying satellite before remembering nothing in orbit can appear that huge from earth.

AFAIK all normal aircraft must have visible red/green navigation lights. You do occassionally see weird shit you can’t identify if you look up at the sky a lot. It’s not very frequent, but it’s not super rare either. I don’t mean UFOs or weird phenomena. Presumed military.

It was either high enough or silent enough to make no sound. I’m guessing it was large and fairly high and silent.

Do you think that what you saw was part of the FBI's aerosurveillance program?

No clue. Couldn’t identify it.
