Is it possible to have an orbital path that observed from the ground that tracks from northeast to southwest?

Because if not - I saw a HIGH flying aircraft at over an hour before sunrise...

There is no rule against it, but that does sound irregular.  Such an orbit would be retrograde, requiring a lot of extra fuel to create.
