If it was flying high, then it was huge and fast.
To put it in context, airliners from Perth international airport fly over our house on a daily basis heading north to the mines. When they pass over our house they are only at a few thousand feet(the airport is only 25 miles away so they have only just taken off) and travelling at least 500mph.
What we saw was much larger and brighter and moving a lot faster than they do.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
