Light over NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA

The report, as filed

Object appeared to hover at a high altitude slightly to the east of us. Maybe 5 to 8 miles. Appeared very small to the naked eye and I lost it. Why I’m contacting you is that 4 or 5 minutes later, the same, or a similar object appeared in the opposite part of the sky, to the west. Slightly lower altitude than previously. Moving slowly and deliberately to the east, then to the north, increasing in altitude, getting smaller to the naked eye. I attribute the brightness of the object to its reflecting the sun. The brightness was inconsistent, making it appear that the object was flashing somewhat. This attribute of this sighting makes me think that the object was reflective on only one side or portion of it. I have never seen nor reported a UFO before, but this sighting was unique enough that it left me very curious and if there’s any way to more about what this is, I’d be interested to know more. I have seen satellites and this did not behave like a satellite. An astronomy app confirmed that there were no planets in our sight line. It felt way too high in altitude to be a helicopter or a drone. If it was some form of weather balloon, there would have to have been two of them, because one balloon could not have traversed that distance in such a short period of time. The attached photo is statistically close to worthless but I am including it in any case
