I guess a logical explanation would be that it was a military test plane, since I am close enough to the desert from here? I dunno... it could have been anything. I just want to know what it was!

This intrigues me. What makes you think it was very high up, higher than a plane? You said it looked a bit like a satellite, so I'm guessing it was a point, something with very small angular size. I mean you don't really have good stereo vision of things that are far away (just like anything several meters away is approximately at infinity in photography). Are you assuming a distance based on speed?
You're probably right about it being a military plane, or perhaps a helicopter?
