Bright sphere accompanied by “fuzzy” orb

My wife and I went outside to enjoy the patio and grill dinner. We laid down on a chase lounge and within a few moments my wife pointed straight up and said “what is that”. I looked up and straight overhead was a dazzling bright light. It was still daytime. The light was fixed, stationary. I asked my wife to keep an eye on it while I grabbed binoculars. Upon returning with binoculars my wife said she saw another object dart through the sky from north to south at incredibly speed. She described that object as a “fuzzy ball”. The bright light was still fixed overhead and I began to observe it through binoculars. It was at high altitude, guessing 30k feet. It was clearly sphere, or perhaps the underside of a disk. The light was it was emitting was sort of swirling around the shape. I described this to my wife and she asked for the binoculars. The instant I handed her the binoculars the object vanished. We both saw it clear as day. Very unusual.
