Brief sighting of Egg/Orb heading North to South

My home is located approx. 1 mile northwest of Charlotte Douglas airport. While sitting on my back porch watching clouds and airport traffic I noticed an egg/orb heading north to south very slowly at about 10,000 feet. At one point it seemed to briefly pause and continue. It was shiny and hard to see without my polarized glasses. I had my camcorder with me and I got a little footage of it but I couldn't see it in the viewfinder, only on playback could I see it and the few seconds was poor but there. The clouds at that time were moving west to east. I'll keep watching....
