Car dealership confused on what they all saw floating in the sky for 2 hours.

While I was working this afternoon, I noticed a black spot in the sky just beneath the clouds. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it may have been a balloon, or a helicopter hovering over the downtown area.

About 15 minutes go by and I realized this object suspended in the sky wasn't moving, or flashing lights, and was to high up for the police and news helicopters I see on a daily basis.

I went to my car and grabbed my cheap pair of binoculars to get a better view. It looked like a long bus, black in color. I observed the object for about another half an hour when 15 if not more of my co-workers begin to take notice what was in the sky.

My co-worker went to his car and pulled out his binoculars and the view was better than the my pair. I couldn't make out any lights, although one co-worker said she saw a blue light on the right side of the object, no one else stated that.

When I was watching the object through my co-workers binocul! ars, I noticed the object looked more saucer shaped, but then it would change to a long bus shape, it was hard to tell what was going on because the object was really high up.

Several people said it was a weather balloon, but this object looked nothing like a weather balloon, and at the altitude it was hovering at, the balloon would have been blown around in the jet stream.

I watched the object until I could no longer see it because the sun went down, and as the sun disappeared, the object remained.

I know it wasn't a bird, or a plane, or a helicopter, or a balloon, what I saw was something I've never seen before, and unexplained in my opinion.
