Very still looked like a shiny weather balloon

Saw what we thought was a “low flying plane” but didn’t move, and it was too bright for any stars. Looked like a football with a slightly narrowed bottom. I had my son watch it from the back seat to see if it moved at all but he still says it was still the entire time
