Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

On monday night at 8:45 PM, 7-17-06 in Kent, Wa., I was watching a jet plane flying overhead very low on it's approach to land at Boeing Field, Seattle, Wa..

After, the plane flew over my head at about 1,000 feet in evelation, I noticed an object teardrop shaped flying about 1,000 feet above where the jet had just flown over.

I had 4 co-workers working near me outside, and I yelled, and pointed the object out to them! None of us knew what it was?

This object was traveling slow, but gaining altitude.

We watched it for about 4 minutes, it was traveling about 30 knots. It was a partly overcast night, with the sun starting to set.

The object was opposite the sun in the sky. There was no lights, fire, sounds, and it was traveling against the wind heading from the north to the south, but slowly gaining attitude as it looked to be just gliding along.
