Strange circle-shaped object over Kaunas, Lithuania

The strange thing happened when I was in the local airfield in Kaunas, Lithuania, waiting for an airplane to arrive. I was looking at the sky when I suddenly noticed a strange flying thing. It was definitely very far away, because I could only see a small circle moving quite fast from north west to east or south east. It couldn't be an airplane, because there was no sound, and it was too high. Moreover no planes fly that way. If u'd look to the map, u would see that Kaunas is in the centre of Lithuania, and Vilnius, a capital, is in the east. So the biggest part of airplanes fly from east to west(and vice versa), or, if airplanes just cross Lithuania, they have to go from north to south. My father said it could have been a sattelite, although it was day and the sun was shining.

I was lucky to carry a digital camera with me, so I captured an image, therefore I know the exact time of this event (2005-06-20 16:57). The image (I've sent it to You) shows a small object. I used the biggest zoom (3X optical + 4X digital) to capture the object, so the quality isn't very good. It could look like a cloud to You, but I can asure You that it was much smaller and it was moving constantly and very fast. I could see it for 20-30 seconds, and then it hid over the clouds (which means it was moving higher than clouds) Probably I was the only one witness, although there were 20-30 people some 100 metres away. I'm sure they could have seen the same if wanted, but the object was very small, no sound was spread and it hid over the cloud after 20 or 30 seconds.

I have no idea what was there. I can't say it was UFO, but I haven't seen anything like that before. We have many airplanes (small ones, and big passenger jets) passing Kaunas, and I know how they look and sound like, so it couldn't have been an airplane. The other possibility is that it could have been a sattelite, but, as I've said before, I have never seen anything like that before.
