I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. I spotted this while walking my dog. Sorry for the low quality, but it was distant. It was on the opposite side of the sky as the moon, and this was taken in northeastern Massachusetts.
Is this some kind of atmospheric phenomenon? The skies above are pretty clear right now, and it's clearly moving laterally across the sky (northward, I think).

Go to r/spaceporn. A native from Toronto, Canada just saw what you filmed too on real time and a reddit user explained it.

I just saw something similar in Northeast PA. Quick Google search said no launches should be visible in NEPA tonight.
