Daylight object, too small to be commercial aircraft at altitude, moved slowly west, paused, moved further west, then south.
This is my first time seeing anything worth mentioning. Daylight: I was sitting on my south facing patio deck taking a break after doing some yard work. Looked up and noticed an object that was the size of a small star (possibly reflecting sun light?). The object appeared to be at commercial aircraft altitude (30k feet), but actual size of object and altitude is a guess. Object was at eleven o-clock position in the sky and moved very slowly west (approximately two inches at arms length, would stop, then slowly continue path west, pause and then headed south in a gentle arc, to approximately two o-clock position. Movement was intentional and did not appear to drift. No sudden accelerations, or wobbling, just even paced, then pauses. This was not a commercial aircraft at 30k, both because of movement, speed and size. Maybe a weather balloon, if they still use them, but the pauses (hovering) in movement seemed to last way too long. It was very difficult to keep my eye on it because it was so small and daylight. I simply lost track of it.
