Very bright, Star like, Very High altitude, No sounds, Not moving and very unusual for this area ?

At approximately 20:35 EDT/ 00:35 UTC my daughter called me via cell, asking what the object was in the North sky. With her on the phone, I walked out looking north and seeing nothing, I leaned back looking almost straight up from my location and found the object in a fairly clear sky with high altitude clouds moving in from the Northwest.

The Object was at possibly 50 to 75,000 feet. Silver/white, not moving and thought to be a star, one object only. My daughter stated that she thought the object was moving slowly to the South. I watched the object for about 1 to 2 minutes, During this time the clouds were starting to block the Sun light. As I watched the object it appeared to roll to the right, became very bright and then I lost sight of it.

The object was seen by 4 people total in two different locations. My daughters location was 6 miles away from my location. My daughter was sitting out side in a black top parking area with a very large field of view and mine was from my home's back yard with grass and tall trees.
