Pill shaped rounded ends

I live in the flight patterns of Hill AFB and SLC Intl Airport. I was sitting on my front patio looking at the flights heading for SLC when I saw an object flying north east towards the Wahsach mountains. The I took a picture with my phone then got my binoculars and was able to see it appeared to be metallic (silver) shaped like a pill with a dark band around the forward end. I estimate the altitude at about 1500-2000 ft traveling at about 50-60 knots. I thought it was a mylar balloon, if it was going with the wind I would expect it to tumble. This pill was flying straight and true. Unfortunately the phone pic a white blur.
