Bright shape moving very slowly from north to south,

Sat in garden just talking, looking up inks could see the seagulls circling high up, then further away looking due east there seemed to be what we though at first another gull. But it just looked too high and wasn't moving like a bird would. Then it started to shine, possibly caught the sun, it was a very bright white to blue light, the object appeared to part split into 2 separate parts and then merge back together again. The light at first was flickering and then as it moved slowly from north to south became a constant light. The object did not move like a jet plane which moves pretty fast, but moved slowly across the sky until it faded from sight, total time we watched it was about 9 minutes, the only thing we thought it could be was a very high flying drone, or a weather ballon, or sold a satellite been seen at day time in certain conditions? It did remind us of how a satellite crosses the sky at night. It just struck us as something out of the ordinary.
