9:45 PM standing in my front yard looking straight up, body facing south looking at the stars with a pair of 10x42 binoculars. I noticed a fast moving dark v shaped craft with 5 lighter areas on it's left wing/side and 2 lighter areas on it's right wing/side on a north to south heading. It's shape stood out from the night sky as it was slightly lighter in tone. I could tell this wasn't an airplane. I observed the craft throught the binoculars for approximately 5 seconds. There was no sound, no navigation lights, craft was traveling much faster than a commercial airliner. The craft filled the field of view through the 10x42 binoculars. I wasn't afraid, I was slightly amazed, then I lost track of the craft due to trees.
