blue spherical light traveling very fast

We were traveling facing east. We had an unobstructed view out the front windshield of the car--a wide horizon. We saw a single blue light travel from the far left to the far right raising in altitude. The light took about 30 seconds to travel that distance, about 2-3 times faster than a commercial jet would move, and then disappear to the far right. We estimate that it travelled at approximately 5-10,000 feet, where you usually see private aircraft fly at. There were no other tail or running lights, just a single spherical blue light.
