I saw the sun reflecting off something in the sky so I pulled out my phone to record it.

I was out back having a cigarette. I was looking directly East into the clear blue sky when I noticed the sun reflecting off something flying in the sky. I've had sightings out here before but not in daylight so I immediately pulled my phone out to film it and zoom in to get a better view. We have a small airport in our city so I wanted to make sure it wasn't a plane or helicopter. I zoomed in and could not make heads or tails of what the object was or even the shape and it wasn't making any noise. Behind the object, higher up in altitude, you can see a commercial plane and the two look nothing alike. The object travelled from South Southeast heading North Northwest and after a few minutes vanished from sight. The whole sighting was maybe 2-3 minutes total with 1 minute of it filmed on my phone.
