Bright white spherical object, suspended in the sky around 11AM that remained stationary for over a half hour, then just disappeared.

My mother and I were sitting on my back porch having coffee around 11:00 AM, enjoying the beautiful sunny day, when I looked up and saw the object hovering. It looked like a golf ball suspended in the sky. I could see it had dimension with my naked eye, but found it very hard to capture it with my phone camera as clear as I could see it. The object did not move, it stayed stationary the whole time.

We watched it for about a half hour. We went inside for about 15 minutes and when we returned the object was gone. The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight, so it simply disappeared and didn’t just move in the sky like the moon would or any other celestial object.

I shared the pictures I took to our local Facebook forum to see if anyone else in town had seen the object as well. No one else claimed to have seen it, but many had explanations, all of which were not possible. Some had suggested it was the International Space Station, and to my knowledge the space station moves in the sky. This was stationary and seemed to be in our atmosphere, not in orbit, because I could see it had dimension (shadows on the edges). Others had said it could be a weather balloon, but again, it would have moved, even a little.

I would love to hear some professional opinions. This was one of the strangest things I have ever seen. I would like some feedback as to what this could possibly be.
