Twisting tube like object floating in the sky

When I first saw the object, I was driving South on Goodfellow Rd., approaching Lansdowne St. The object appeared to be a long stationary line in the sky straight ahead of me. Still watching the object I continued driving South through the intersection and into the Chapters parking lot. I stood there for about five minutes, watching this thing.

It seemed to be a long dark tube about 15 to 20 feet long. It would slowly twist, turn and bend. Sometimes floating upward or downward. At one point it was bent like a right angle, with the bend part pointing upward. The ends of this tube object were blunt not pointy. It acted like a giant slow moving snake.

There were three people in a parked car close by, so I showed them the object. They were also amazed. After watching it for a few more minutes, we all decided to get in our cars and try to follow the object for a closer look. We met up a little further South but could no longer find it.

I'm wondering if it was some type of kite that I don't know about. The weather is sunny with a few clouds, winds about 7 km.

I told the other witnesses about this site, hopefully they submit a report.
