Observation- Like, October 7 Or Something

In the morning I spent like twenty minutes of extra time looking upwards, as it was the only area of the sky I could see reasonably well. I saw Pegasus hanging around somewhere up there, but what really drew my attention was a smudge-like object; not a star, but I don't think there are any galaxies or anything that you can see directly overhead. I tried to logic out what it was but was unable to do so, so I located Ursa Minor just because I could and then went inside.
Time- About 20 minutes
