The white ball that looks like an object seems to be high up, it's hard to tell exactly, and it will depend on the size of the object. My eyesight is low (I'm an IT specialist, so I'm a bit short-sighted).

the object appeared to be at an altitude of 2000-3000 feet (600-900 m), floating at an angle of approximately 90 degrees (west - northwest) due to prevailing winds (west-southwest).

 In 5 minutes of viewing, we saw 2 very short flashes of light near the object, not on it, it also seemed to sprout another smaller balloon attached to one side, then back to one larger object, and then sprout on the other side. 

Was too far away to see more details, reminded me of objects like Mexico, floating objects. No noise, the other person was also looking at it, couldn't tell either. 

On a bright, almost cloudless day, the object maintained a bright, though not blinding white color all the time, even when it was under a light layer of medium-level clouds.

Summary: White balloon like object, seemed to be high up, difficult to tell exactly and would depend on object size. My eyesight is not great (IT professional so a bit short sighted) the object seemed to be 2-3000 feet up, floating, at 90 degrees approx (west – northwesterly) to light prevailing winds (west – southwesterly). Over 5 mins watching saw 2 very brief flashes of light close to the object, not on it, it also seemed to sprout another smaller balloon attached to one side, then back to one larger object, then sprout the other side. Was too far away to see more detail, reminded me of the Mexico type objects, the floaters. No noise, another person looked at it too, could not identify it either. Bright almost cloudless day, the object kept a bright though not brilliant white colour all the time, even when under a light layer of mid-level cloud. No photos sorry.
