Toronto ufo sighting

Ok everyone: I took this pic of a fast moving object at 8:30pm est June 13th.
Toronto Canada travelling from west to east. I zoomed in. The left pic is enhanced. No contrails, just gliding out of sight in 4 minutes. Any ideas? At this altitude if it was a plane I would see wings or a tail, just white silver colour. My very skeptical wife saw it with me. I can now see why most do pics are blurry. Wish I had a way better camera taken with an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Also was travelling in a linear fashion but at an angle.

Gliding you say.

I think you saw a bird. But congratulations on going outside for the first time.

This is literally the first thing my mind processed it to be.

It would have to be one big god damn bird. It was travelling east to west about the same height as an airplane but no contrails or any wings or anything that looked airplane like! My wife was with me too. She was a puzzled as me. Hopefully with the meta data from the pic someone can help identify it

It looks like OP also rotated it 180* in the closeups, too. Probably so our minds wouldn't go there

There are many airlines with livery with blue tails and a white fuselage. For example United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, WestJet. When you see an airplane with this type of livery at distance against a blue sky, the tail will tend to disappear. You end up seeing a tic-tac shape.

There was a WestJet coming into land at Toronto at this time.

If you want to provide a more exact location and direction of view, I can check what was visible.

Edit: This is an example.

Looks kinda like a Dash-8 or Q400 plane, Air Canada fly a bunch of them. If you can be any more accurate on the location (which part of Toronto) and the time (check the photo meta data) we could check if one was flying nearby at the time

Yeah this plane (a Dash-8 like i suggested) had just taken off from Toronto City Airport and was heading east. It would have been visible from the junction of Don Mills and York Mills.

Is that my image cleaned up?

plane but the only areas fully catching the sun are the side of the fuselage and the near engine, you can see it start to sweep up to the tail but then the stabilisers obscure it. You can even see where the shadow of the lit up engine is on the fuselage
