Shape: Cylinder

No wings, cylinder streaking across clear sky, comes to complete stop, then streaks 120 degrees straight up and out of sight.

It was a very clear day. I was working in the garden. I looked up and noticed a bright, shiny paramecium shape object streaking across the sky from N to S across the airspace West of town. I tried to view it as a bird but it was higher than bird flight. It appears to have no wings but may have had some thin structures like pipes, at front and back of the flat cylinder like shape. I tried to view it as a plane at high altitude but it was about 10 times faster than a high plane. I took several steps out from the shade of a tree and the object came to an immediate and complete stop for about 1 second. From an extremely high rate of speed South to a complete stop. It then changed direction 120 degrees back and up. Within about 3 seconds it was out of sight completely. It appeared to go nearly straight upward, away from the earth. The movements of this object were not normal and definitely would fit a UFO report. It reminded me of the military jet object that met the unexplained or impossible movements causing it to be judged a legit UFO report.

Nothing other happened and with quite a bit of looking up, I saw nothing of it or anything other.
