Repeated daylight sightings of high altitude box kite shaped object over central NJ

For the past 2 weeks, on clear afternoons around 6:15pm something passes over central NJ at a very high altitude. Through binoculars it looks like a silver box kite, or hourglass/ dumbbell shape, and I can just barely make it out with the naked eye. It moves very slowly from SW to NE and catches the light from the setting sun, but one time it seemed to be standing still and didn't move. It could be the ISS but usually that's just a bright dot late at night, not a daytime shape with visible structure. I've seen it 4 times in the past 2wks, don't have the right equipment to photograph it, but it's been fairly predictable. NASA's ISS spotter website only lists nighttime flyovers.
