It was around the height of a plane or higher, very fast and smooth flight pattern and had no flashing lights, any ideas? I’ve never seen a satellite before –
It’s almost impossible to tell the altitude without knowing the size of the object or having a second pointing reference. And yeah it kind of looks like a satellite being lit by the sun.

Doing some late night moving from a rental property and sorting out the garden, looked up and saw this, it was extremely bright but no flashing lights, just white light, it was moving very smoothly and almost looked to be following a curvature, I haven’t seen a satellite before so if it is that, that’s cool too!

Looks like it might have some vapor trailing behind it, did you see that with your eyes too? One of the uap observables

Could have very well been the ISS. If you want to confirm, there are apps for tracking it. Also (probably) tomorrow it will be on a comparable trajectory at more or less the same time
