Very bright stationary object observed during broad daylight.

During the afternoon of July 13th 2011, me and a friend were out taking a walk. It was a bright sunny day with few if any clouds. While walking I noticed a bright stationary object in the north-east sky. The object had caught my eye because of its brightness and I stopped walking so suddenly that my friend asked what was wrong. He then looked in the direction I was staring and noticed the same “star-like” bright yellowish object. I had been staring because I thought it might be a jet or plane reflecting the sun. This object was not very high in the horizon and after looking at it for a minute or so we realized it was not a jet or similar aircraft. The object appeared about as bright as the planet Venus at night except this was in broad daylight.

My friend and I could not figure out what this thing was and I thought I might be witnessing a supernova bright enough to be visible in daylight. I even considered a Mylar or aluminum balloon but there was a significant breeze and this thing was stationary. My friend and I continued to walk and eventually I glanced away and when I looked back the object had disappeared. I don’t know if there were other reports on this day and time in this area but others had to see this.

It should be stated that we saw other aircraft in the sky but they did not reflect or appear nearly as bright as this object and they were moving like normal aircraft do.
