Is this a UFO or a planet or a supernova?

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Description

I was setting up for astrophotography one early evening (9:22pm on June 13, 2021), and I saw a bright spot in the sky where there wasn't supposed to be any bright objects. It was a summer evening, so it was still bright out. I set up my 5" dobsonian to take a closer look at 8mm and this is what I saw. It was so surreal that I took my iPhone to capture it. It must have been moving at sidereal rate. After taking a few minutes of video, I went to set up my CEM40 and Edge 8 just to take a much closer look, but it pretty much disappeared already. 

The image is a 40% best stack from a 138 image segment of the video from the iphone held up by the eyepiece. I only got to process it recently so I could not post it earlier. Should I call up NASA?
