Seen passing through the sky while eating lunch. Too big to be a balloon in our opinion. It appears to be rotating or fluttering

Maybe a lower orbit satellite flare?

Edit:

You can take a look here for some satellite trackers. Not sure which one is good enough.

Edit 2: as others pointed out, its very unlikely to be a satellite

Doesn't it float in front of the clouds?

I think you are right. Or maybe its a very low flying satellite in front of very high clouds ಠ‿ಠ

Way too low
