I was hitting some golf balls. I took a small break and looked up. I saw an object stationary in the sky. I stared at it for about a minute before I took my phone out. I thought it was a balloon but noticed it wasn’t really moving.
I screen recorded my phone so y’all can see what I’m seeing/doing. I first tried zooming in via picture mode, since that’ll give me the most zoom at 30x (I know its digital zoom but the phone at the time only had a 3x optical lense.) Video mode doesn’t go as far (10x digital ) and the quality isn’t all that great compared to picture mode. (I’ve upgraded to an S22 ultra since, with its 10x optical zoom) After a minute of trying via picture mode, I switched to video mode. I recorded for one minute and placed the video in the youtube video. (2 minute mark).
At the 3:00 mark I open the camera to spot a plane and show the difference between the two objects. I then open an app to check out the stars and it lines up with Vega at 3:20

It looked like it was moving towards the end but I’m sure it was just an illusion caused by the clouds.
Thanks.
