Never seen this happen in the night sky- What could it be?

[Thepoorgazer]

So about two or three days ago, I'm looking at the night sky at around 8 P.M or 9 P.M Indian Standard Time. I live a little outside the city, so the sky is really nice and comparitively clear. I suddenly see something like a star or something (it was as high as the stars and looked very much like a star; the way it shined and everything) moving from east(near or inside Orion) towards north(somewhere close to The Big Dipper) in an arc like path in about a minute and disappeared under the horizon. Atleast I think so. BTW, this was all with the unaided eye. At first, I thought it was something like a sky lantern at a really high altitude, but I don't think a sky lantern could move that fast. What could it be? I'm really curious.

almost a 100% sure that it was a satellite. satellites shine when the sunlight reflects off its surface and then down to earth. (almost like the moon)

Thanks for the answers bunnygod1 and Victor Boesen. But isn't that dangerously fast for a satellite? Or is it pretty normal?

It is. The satellites orbit earth in 90 mins.
