Original Note:
The video is recorded from a high-flying balloon. Not a satellite. You can observe satellites passing by with a telescope or binoculars. The ISS can be observed with the naked eye. Its consistent orbit and visibility schedule align with the physics of orbital mechanics. https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2022-08-25/could-a-high-flying-balloon-help-the-forest-service-fight-wildfires
