Sun spots and an object whizzing past

Trying out video and a 4x digital zoom function on a panasonic G7 with my sigma 50-500, I left it recording and on review at 1:35 of the video an object goes whizzing past the sun, a satellite maybe?  

 

A still taken with the above combination

Very nicely imaged, always interesting to see different phenomena when imaging. I suspect possibly a satellite, it does look very round as well maybe a balloon?  Calsky  http://www.calsky.com/ is great for checking for transits. I did notice on Wednesday dinner time that there was a lot of "stuff" passing in front of the sun, something I have seen many times particularly in the summer months.
