White diamond out over ocean in daylight... hovering (over 2 hours)

Around 12:45 p.m. today (east coast time), I was sitting on my ocean front balcony facing east. The sky was clear blue with clouds out far over the ocean. I noticed a white dot hovering out over the ocean...many miles out. It was about 2-3 inches above the horizon. It was still & not moving. I kept watching & finally decided to get my grandfathers old binoculars. Through them, it looked like either a square or diamond shape, but solid white. It can be seen with the naked eye as just a white dot, but through the binocs, it had the square or diamond shape. Definitely had 4 points.

I then remembered I had newer & stronger binoculars in my Jeep. I walked out & grabbed them, & returned to the balcony (5 min duration). I saw the same thing through the stronger binocs, but could def. see a diamond shaped object. With the clouds & lines in the clouds as my backdrop, I could clearly see the object wasn't moving up/down, or left/right. I was planning on going to the beach, & after watching this for 30-40 minutes, I gathered my stuff & walked out to the beach (10 min duration). I brought the stronger binoculars & continued watching from the beach level. My balcony is about 20 feet above the beach FYI.

I watched this object for another 30-40 minutes, when at 1 point, I looked in that direction, & it was gone. I continued looking in the general direction of where it was for another hour or 2, but it never returned.

It was very far out over the ocean, it never moved, & was still the entire time. It was the only thing in the sky, that far out, bright white, & about the size of a pencil eraser, from where I watched from.
