Looks like chipped glass to my eyes
Itβs a giant βUFO Awarenessβ ribbon. You can tell because it is the official UFO Awareness color: glowing.
Serious? Yeah, I like the bug in frame theory. Two wings and a body.

That is clearly the mound
Them's pants
It says "seen over" which means in the sky, not sure why people keep guessing things on the ground.
It looks like either something leaving or reentering the atmosphere. Could be yet another Starlink sattelite deorbiting.
Bug on the window. Everytime these photos are taken, they are blurry af

A suspiciously blurry photo
Clearly it's a screenshot of a blurry photo

You need to read The Sphinx by Edgar Allen Poe.
It's about a man staying in the country when he sees this gigantic monster off in the distance from his bedroom window. He freaks out about it and becomes paranoid.
Turns out it was a moth on the window. That's what this looks like too.
Turn out your lamps Lemmy or the moths will return!
One sec let me try to get some EXIF data Edit: nvm I can't download it
It really looks to me like a tiny bug on the camera lens or on a window
Maybe but at the same time I dont see any legs or antenna, and it looks like its floating. Course it is blurry
it's blurry because the camera is focussed on the sky
Itβs an ambiguous photo. Probably faked.
If the object isnβt an optical aberration or a faked photo and is in fact an actual object in the sky it could be a deflated weather balloon falling.They can get pretty funky looking. To me though it looks more like a wind turbine.
My money is on it being a faked photo.

Could be a crackhead that got hold to the wrong stuff.
One thing I see a lot in phones with multiple cameras is blotches of light that look a lot like that showing up when the lenses are pointed towards something bright (like the sun or a sunset). I usually assume any light flares in a picture are just a result of that, if it was taken by a phone lol.
The sun was setting
Was this Greenville, SC?
No it's Greeneville, TN
I'm interested to learn what it ends up being you could track it to prove but it sorta looks like an odd angle of ISS

What kind of camera and lens? If it's a phone camera, image processing could be a factor and it may look very different than the picture depicts. I would guess something shiny catching light is being distorted into what is seen in the image. I think it's likely to be a high altitude balloon.
Nerp 
I wouldn't expect every balloon to be on any map, especially one available for free to the general public.

Tracking balloons is not easy, "our weather balloons" intentionally transmit their locations. There's a lot more stuff floating around up there, some of it intentionally designed and operated not to be tracked. It's relatively easy and affordable to put a big balloon way up there so all kinds of people do for all kinds of reasons.
Im pretty sure they dont want those ones to go down
