White light in the sky, no sound, and no wingtip/tail lights.

On the evening of 2/1/24 my young son and I went on a neighborhood walk after supper. I glanced up at the sky and noticed a light that looked like a slowly moving star. I then realized it was too close to be a star and thought it could be a small airplane. However, it had no wing tip or tail lights that flashed. It was a solid white light. Planes have headlights, but typically only use them for take offs and landings. The object was heading from the NW to SE. There was no deviation of flight pattern. It was moving too slowly to be a small or commercial airplane and the altitude seemed to be higher than a small plane and too low to be a commercial flight. See videos.
