A bright circle traveling in the daytime. First South and then another one two hours later traveling North.

At 4pm on April 20th 2005 I was in my back yard with my kids enjoying the weather. There was not a cloud in the sky and I've been watching planes and their contrails. I was following one jet that was directly above me and heading West. Watching the plane a circular object crossed its path heading South. The object reminded me of watching satellite at night. It was traveling at a similar speed as the plane I was watching before. It appeared brighter than the satellite I've seen at night and if it was night it would of been as bright as the brightest star.

Seeing the object got me excited so I ran upstairs to my bead room to get my camera. I grabbed it and ran back down and managed to take 3 pictures before the batteries died in the camera. I watched the object continue to move south until it came too close to where the Sun was in the sky. After that I couldn't see it anymore.

At 6pm the same day I brought home some Pizza for my family to eat in the back yard for supper. My family was already out side waiting for me. As I came out the door I looked up and seen another object that looked the same as the first one but was instead traveling North. I quickly pointed it out to my wife. We watched it continue North for a minute until it went behind a cloud and we lost sight of it.

I believed it was possibly only a satellite, it did cross the sky similar to one. Two days after I was convinced that it was not one. Again I was in my back yard and I found another one North West in the sky. This time it was not moving. It stayed in place for about 4 minute until it vanished.
