It seemed to stand still, but when I looked through the glasses it seemed to be moving back and Hi within a short radiuse I couldn't see anything hanging on it at all. When it left it seemed to go straight up; it did not go sideways. If it had been a balloon it would have burst. There was no sounde I saw this object between 1830 and 1900; I think about 18:52 I watched it for approximately 10 or 15 minutes and it went out of sight.
