Leaving store noticed beautiful sky, loaded groceries, driving in car looked at sky again, saw sphere at high alt., recorded it.

After having had a few days in a row of summer high heat, rain, & high humidity, yesterday was a nice and unusually low humidity day.
After grocery shopping for a couple hours we left Walmart near 8:00 pm. With the unobstructed view from the parking lot I noticed the beautiful sky while walking to my car.
It was near dusk. The sky was a clear blue (usually low humidity for us here), the few clouds in the sky were very high (for here) and were wispy and pink, due to being near dusk.
After loading the groceries I stole one minute to myself and deeply took in the beauty of the sky. Got into the car to drive away and while still in the parking lot looked again at the sky. I noticed an odd object and asked the person with me to look at it and ask.what it was. They didn't have a clue. Then it dawned on me I had my phone to video it. I did so, fearing I'd miss it. But I didn't. I got it as it crossed a pink wispy cloud. It was very high in the sky at a great distance from me but it must have been large for me to be able to see it so clearly. It did not seem like a plane to us. My video is only 11 seconds. I stopped filming when I thought it had disappeared. But later when I cast the video from my phone to my large smart TV, I saw that it hadn't disappeared but had only turned dark. If I had known it was still visible to my phone I would have continued filming. I did notice that the shape of the object on my TV was different from how my naked eye saw it. I would have described it a spherical from my naked eye view but blown up on screen shots it has a bit of a triangular aspect to it but that may be due to the way light works when magnified.
On a large monitor it should be easy to see. But to help you find it; if you see the shape of the pink cloud is similar to the silhouette of a cat running toward you locate its ears and head and then it's front legs. The video begins with.the object moving across the left armpit area of the cat shaped cloud. It moves upward and to the left across the "cat" shape. Then it turns dark before I stop filming.
