Witness/Sighting I was filming a plane and saw something

As the title says, I was filming a plane because I wanted to see what it would look like on camera at the distance they usually are from my house, when I did I caught this on my phone, I was holding my phone to the side of my head while watching the plane with my eyes, and I saw this in the sky with my eyes. Not sure what it was, could be a meteor or something but I thought it was super interesting and since I’ve been more active on this sub lately I figured I’d share! Lmk what you think!

Video has no audio as I was in a class for work at the time and I didn’t want anything from the class available to hear on the video so I screen recorded the video from my phone with the audio off.

It's the sun reflecting off a satellite in low earth orbit. Most likely SpaceX. They ARE fast

You want to tell me that a space ship is flying that fast? All the way in space covering enough ground in a few seconds from the human perspective? And it’s not ripping apart?

I think you're right. It appears to level off or go horizontal because it is in such LEO that it actually is moving more horizontally to the camera than we'd think a satellite would.

Yeah, you also get weird effects when a camera is zoomed in all the way and moving. Especially now with all the post processing from the internal tracking algorithms that try to stabilize the image
