There are “low orbit satellites” that lays between earth’s denser part of the atmosphere (atmosphere doesnt have a clear dividing wall, it just “fades” to space.) and the VanAllen radiation belt. They could be considered “in the sky” as they arent quite in “outter space” but its at a height no human without protection can get to.

High orbit satellites are definitely in space.
