Shape: Light

Prismatic light almost hovering in the sky

I was standing on the sidewalk outside of the gas station, on 3rd Avenue, looking west-southwest, and at about 50 degrees, and about 1000ft high, was a prismatic light, moving at a very slow rate. It noted that it had no aircraft lights, was not making a sound, and was far too high to be a drone. I stopped a few people in the close vicinity, and asked them if it was moving and what they thought it was. No one said, "satellite" which tells me it was far too close to be one. Someone suggested maybe a drone, but we both realized it was way too high, and any drone that could fly that high would have aircraft lights. It was by far the brightest thing in the sky, and it was a brilliant, bright white that was almost prismatic in it's color. My phone was dead, I recall, because I wanted to get a video of it, and was very annoyed that I couldn't.
