Details:
I was out taking random shots with my 55-250mm zoom lens today. I noticed after reviewing the images an object in frame with a high altitude airplane I had grabbed several frames of. I am wondering if I have caught a satellite in the image.

There also seems to be a reflection, of it, on the airplane.

too silver for a satellite. probably just a flying disc filled with 1 to 3, three foot tall extra-terrestrials doing some sight seeing ;)

the reflection on the plane is just the stobe light blinking on the belly. The object may be a bird, the lighting on it changes like its wings have moved. It could also be a bight star or planet that the shape is distorted by the panning action of the camera. Perhaps even a piece of trash lofted in a dust devil. From these images it is IMPOSSIBLE to know the distance of the object unless you KNOW what it is. This is not uncommon to get something on an image that you fail to see at the moment.

My guess is that its a small private jet. They can cruise near FL500
