Twin cylinder object in broad daylight over California

On the afternoon of January 9th, I stepped outside in the shade to be picked up for a meeting. It was 4:58, and as I waited I watched an airplane prepare to land as it flew overhead. I live on a flight path and as I watched the plane at 2,000 feet traveling west, I caught the glimmer of an object much higher up above the landing plane heading east. The sun was in a position to clearly reflect light from the object. It looked silver with two cylinders attached. There was a dark band between the two cylinders. There was no noise, no vapor trail, and no perturbation of its straight flight path. It traveled from the northwest to southeast at a very high altitude. Because I was in the shadows and the object was in the sunlight, I had a very good view of it. I watched the object for a number of seconds and it was gone in less than a minute. I looked on the web for similar sightings and found a near identical Italian sighting (SanRemo, Italy 9-29-2006, 20:08).

Thus, did anyone see a similar object at approximately the same time?
