Sun reflection off a stationary rectangular object in a completely clear blue sky.

Small star-like stationary object, rectangular in shape, spotted while looking up at aircraft inbound to Newark International (EWR). First feeling was that it was the bright reflection of the sun off of a Mylar party balloon. However it did not move. Absolutely clear sky and no movement. Sighted and aligned the object against my deck posts as reference. It did not move. Made an assumption that it was likely the International Space Station's Solar panels reflecting the sun. It was there for a good while. Finally noticed that it was gone. A Southwest Airlines jet allowed me a point of reference and I snapped the digital image that will accompany this report. The object is to the left and above the jet.
