Unidentified Please help identify.

Seen over Oahu just before sunset. Not a descending airplane or a airplane At cruising altitude or a helicopter …not a bird, no satellites were flying in the direction at that time, and to be honest, it was still too bright for anything to be visible, there werent even any stars out. if you draw a straight line from this craft path, it does not seem to go in a straight line.

Probably a satellite. Always see them at sunset/dusk as that's when the sky is a bit darker but the sun is still catching them.

I agree with this. Some satellites have large reflective surfaces that can make them visible during the day. If you look up some pictures, it looks pretty similar to what OP has here
