Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

It's a cold, clear, sunny, windy day, with large, rapidly moving clouds. probably preceeding a storm front. Observed a bright, starlike object against a clear blue daylight sky to the south. Object remained stationary for 15-20 minutes, while airliners from SFO-also to the south-moved rapidly across the sky.Object remained stationary until clouds moved in, obstructing observation.

Object was in the wrong area and wrong time of day to be Venus, was decidedly not an airliner-it didn't move. I compared the objects location against the edge of a building to ensure that apparent motion was due to cloud movement. Verified with two passers-by that yes-object was there and unmoving. They left shaking their heads, making stupid comments. Observed a bright white light, much like a star, but much more striking especially against a blue daylight sky. A wall of clouds finally blew across my line of sight.
