Could well have been an iridium flare off a satellite at that hour.
An Iridium flare is a specific type of satellite flare (also known as satellite glint) made when the antennas of an Iridium communication satellite reflect sunlight directly onto the surface of the Earth.
Or it could have been aliens.
This site has a link to search Iridium flares:

Is there a way to find out if a satellite was in that position at that time?

The one I have seen didn't appear to move.
It looked like a star at first. Then it grew brighter than Venus.
I was wondering if it was a plane or helicopter.
Then I was like what the hell is that?
You catch them just before and just after sunrise and set.
If it hooks a maneuver, it would have to be something else.
Yes, I have seen luminous objects that could not be explained by this.
Satellites do not take sharp turns and dart away as far as I am aware.
Who knows?
Ball lightning?
Or maybe aliens.
