the satellite could be traveling left across the screen.

I believe satellites that cross or appear in the FOV create a trail / path through the image not a bright spherical shaped object

Well it looks like the end of a satellite trail on the edge of the image. It's not a spheroid but rather the end of a line

@ planetaryscience. Thanks for this correction. I am now a little more educated and skilled up as a result :~]
