Bright object observed and photographed

I was laid back on a park bench when I noticed a jet to my left. I watched the jet for a few seconds then noticed a bright point of light near the jet. I sat up then stood up and watched the object, then I began taking photos. The object moved north to south in a slight arc, maintaining it's brightness throughout, from about a ten o'clock position to about a two o'clock position. When I juxtiposed the object with the point of a tree branch, I noticed that it wobbled slightly and had a slightly meandering course. I turned away to notify two passers-by of the object, about two seconds, looked back and it was gone.

About a minute into the sighting I brought the object to the attention of a passerby who watched it with me for a few seconds, commented that we needed binoculars, then proceeded up the pathway. Later upon his return I offered to exchange contact info with him that he may corroborate this sighting and he refused. His opinion was that it was a mylar weather ballon.

I have approximately ten photos of the object and some contain a second faint object that I did not see at the location of the sighting. When I zoom in on the object with my photo editing program I can see dark areas around the object that change from photo to photo.
