Fast moving soundless white sphere

A small white spherical object moved across the sky from NW to SE in a straight trajectory from horizon to horizon with seconds and was quite visible in the clear daytime sky. A plane was flying far above in the sky at the time and appeared to be moving very slowly in comparison. In comparison the plane appeared larger. There was no sound and it left no trail. I've never seen anything like it before and wondered if satellites can be seen during the daytime like that and if they move across the sky that quickly? (Although it appeared to me to be closer to the Earth than the plane far above it, but maybe that was an illusion to my eye?)
