Cigar shaped, translucent, moving white lights. Moving west to east on a very northern horizon. Able to take 2 photos.

Our home’s air conditioning had recently broken and our area was suffering a heat wave. To stay comfortable at night we took to sleeping in our new travel trailer who’s air conditioning worked great. Since we were on a long waitlist to have our AC repair done, we knew we might be in the travel trailer for a couple of weeks. Instead of using the bathroom inside the rig, we’d typically utilize our bathroom inside the house to avoid having to constantly dump the black & gray water tanks.

On Monday September 9th, 2022 at 4:41am (date time stamp on my photos) I was just stepping outside of our RV to head inside our home to use the bathroom when I turned facing north on the RV steps to close the door. When doing so, I immediately focused my sight on a strange, well lit, cigar shaped object moving from west to east across the sky, low perspective-wise on the northern sky. I rubbed my eyes to ensure I wasn’t “seeing something” and quickly came to my senses that I should try and photograph the object. I ran back inside the RV, jumped across the bed to unplug my iPhone and quickly brought up the camera and stepped outside and was able to capture two photos of the object before it moved out of sight.
The object was high in the sky, cigar shaped, looked translucent and well lit with moving white lights. No other features were visible. Total time to move from one side of the horizon to the other, I estimate to be approximately 45 seconds.
