Object moving south to north looking west of Ironwood

Observed object moving from south to north while looking west near the Ironwood Airport. The object appears much higher than commercial aircraft that are typically seen. It also appeared lower and much brighter than a typical satellite. In fact, a satellite had gone over the area a few minutes before hand west to east and was much slower, dimmer, and higher. The object appeared to shimmer similar to strobe/anti-collision lights on a plane. However, the blinking pattern was random and not patterned like a typical aircraft. Total observation time was 2-3 minutes. No sound was heard. Radarbox24 was checked and there were no aircraft in the area squawking or transmitting an ADSB signal. The local MAOs were not active. It’s very possible that this was a military craft. However, the local Air Guard doesn’t fly on Friday nights, and it’s pretty obvious when they are training given the jet noise from the Viper. Again, no noise was detected. Similar objects have been seen previously but this is the first time I was able to get a video.
