Download skyview and it will show you where the ISS is using your phone.

Just so you know, there's an app called Skyview (Google Play link) that gives you an interactive view of the sky no matter where your phone is pointing.
It's such a neat app. You should definitely download it.
Tonight I want you to download the free app; Skyview and report back. You literally zoomed into Orion's belt. I'm really saddened that you're and adult and this is the first time you noticed it. Yikes.
I saw them early in the evening last week. Have you tried the SkyView app? It’s great for finding stars/planets/space debris

Sorry I cannot help you.
I will say though that if you have an android, look at the SkyView app. All you need to do is point your phone at the star and it should tell you what you're looking at. Also works with planets.
The Skyview Free app will tell you exactly where the ISS is at any given moment, allowing you to view it from your own backyard. It also tracks all of the planets in the solar system, tons of constellations and the Hubble! It's pretty nifty.
Download the Skyview app for iPhone | Android
You can also use a compass and look North West.
It's obviously not an exact location, but should give you a clearer idea of where to try and see it.
Edit:
Best seen between midnight and, I believe, 3 AM on a clear starry night. Saw it last night... You can sort of see the comet and trail with your naked eyes, but binoculars is definitely recommended.
Sounds like there's a good chance it was it was one of the brighter stars in the constellation.
This is the SkyView app in question, right? Apps like this use the phone's internal gyro and compass to determine where the camera is looking, but they're not 100% accurate and one can expect a few degrees of deviation, but it seemed like it was pretty close, in that still there was a star inside the circle with the object, likely the object in question. The apps don't pull any image recognition, probably in part due to most smartphones have poor low-light performance.
The shimmering may have been exaggerated by the changing weather, as you stated it got cloudy after a bit, and fronts can have particularly unstable air currents. Think of it as a similar effect to a heat mirage over a road on a hot, humid day, differences in temperature in the air bend light this way and that. It's why stars seem to twinkle and shimmer any given night.
Install this APP. Point to sky, and you will know next time exactly what it is. Use FlightRadar24 if you think its a plane.
I use SkyView
It's not focused on comets, but does include a few. But sure if you find it useful, but there's a free version so worth checking out.

There’s an app called SkyView Lite that utilizes your phone’s camera to detect objects in the sky. Just swing your phone at some strange lights and it’ll tell you whether it’s a star/satellite/planet/nebula. They show constellations, and have little sections with info about each celestial object. You can even track the trajectory of each object. I’ve been learning a lot about the night sky with it. It’s free for the Lite version which works just fine for most people in areas with light pollution!

They also have it for iOS :)
It's visible from 6:39 pm today. You can enter your location and check it here. https://www.astroviewer.net/iss/en/observation.php?lon=76.269&lat=9.931&name=Kochi You can click on (i) near the location name and it will show the web link that you can bookmark. The Chinese station Tiangong is also making a pass tomorrow at 6:34 pm.
I used to watch ISS few years back. You can't identify the features. It appears as a moving spot of light bigger and brighter than any star, like a planet's. You can watch it for about 5 min passing above you. The sky should be clear. If you can't see the stars you likely won't see the ISS either. I haven't seen tiangong. It's apparent brightness magnitude is lesser. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow as it passes almost exactly overhead kochi.
You can also download SkyView Lite app. It's an augmented reality app that shows stars, planet's, satellites etc and it's free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Jeg bruger Skyview Lite, og jeg brugte den også til at finde ud af det var Jupiter 👍
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
(så postede jeg på Facebook om det og fik et "ACKSHULLY" svar om at det i hvert fald ikke kunne være Jupiter på grund af lysforurening. Men det var det.)
Skyview has a lite (free) version for mobile devices, you can use that to easily find it:
I highly recommend grabbing a star map app for your phone. Just point your phone at a star (or constellation) to find out what it is.

I always wave at the International Space Station; I would love to start winking at the moon.
...
Sad to report that I just checked where it is (thanks, SkyView) and not only is it below the horizon right now, it's a new moon. I'll see you next week, moon!
To be sure we would need to know you location and the date and time you took the photo.
But Mars has recently been very bright and easy to see, so I would suspect the answer is yes. Did it appear to be slightly red-orange in colour?

An app like Skyview Free is a fun thing to play with if you're interested in this stuff: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree&hl=en_CA

An app I recently discovered that helps you track is called Skyview. The app is available for both android and iOS. The free version allows you to see the ISS, Hubble Telescope, other planets and the major constellations. Though it doesn't alert you when a planet or satellite is passing by you can track the route it's taking and figure out what time it will be passing you by.
There's also an app called skyview. I don't know if it's for ios but i've got the Android version. Enter your location and you can explore the universe from your phone. I don't know how far you can 'see', but it's a very awesome app!

Is another good one, you cannot type in the date but you can use the slider to get to it, past or future.
There is also a very good Android app called SkyView free that has some cool features that you can hold your phone to the sky and it shows you what you are looking at.
Google ditched the project a while ago, now I'm personally an advocate of SkyView
It's an app for phones . Link for Android (don't have iOS) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
There's lots of guides online but when I was first starting out I learned a lot from this one
Give it a read and then go out and shoot! It'll give you a bunch of other resources as well which are decent but I'll link you what I like to use.

Weather it defaults to New York, just enter your location

baga-ti asta pe tel si spune-ne https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Next time try to use SkyView (iOS/Play), that's what I do if I see a prominent celestial body.

The SkyView app is fun to play will and will tell you for sure.

If it's visiable towards the SW, it's probably Venus you're seeing.

the Skyview app can track the ISS, although it's up to the quality of your phone's sensors to determine its accuracy.
Try Skyview Lite But the full version is well worth the $2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Edit: Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but it shows exact sun position along with beyond horizon path.
You can use apps like SkyView to identify celestial bodies in reall time from your location
Here is an app for you. It uses AR technology to identify stars and planets just by pointing your device's camera at it. Really cool.

Something closer to SkyView would be better: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Thanks for the suggestion though.
It's Jupiter. I use this app to check planets, it's amazing
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Have a look with SkyView: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
I use the Skyview AR app. Really good for telling you what planets and stars you're looking at. Just point your phone at the sky.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Try this SkyView app next time.
This is a super good app that I use to track planets and stars, you can see exactly when and where they will be on your horizon.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Use skyview app, point the mobile towards sky to know what you are looking at.

In your video the only points of light shown are stars/satellites out of atmosphere, and air traffic. The reason for flickering is because the light is so far away. Our atmosphere varies in density so the light passing through can get distorted . There also wasn't any zooming off in the video aside from an aircraft at altitude at the end. If you do see a far away light moving through the sky, it is a satellite.
There are apps you can use that by looking through your camera will overlay satellite paths, and point out specific ones. Here is the app for apple and this for android .
Skyview Free on ainakin androidilla todettu hyväksi sovellukseksi. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree
Ah, that makes sense.
For anyone interested in trying/testing the app:

If you're on Android, try this point your devices camera at the sky and it'll say what's supposed to be there. Pretty cool
This app does exactly what I want...
