I was taking out the trash this evening and noticed a very bright satellite, that looked much lower and brighter than a satellite typically looks.

As I watched it approach from the south, I noticed that it did not travel in a straight line, but was making a slow arc from South to East.

I managed to get a few pictures with my Samsung S23 ultra. Not sure what I'm looking at here but thought I'd share.

Certainly not an aircraft or drone.

I wish I could have gotten better pictures but I wouldn't have been able to get to my camera in time.
