Strange object seen standing still for more then 30 seconds.

I was sitting out in front of my house when I saw this strange object moving in the sky. At first I thought it may have been a baloon, but it was so high up and it came to a complete stop. I watched for about 30 seconds and when it still did not move, I ran in and grabbed my mothers digital camera. When I got back outside about 10 seconds later, it was moving again, but very slowly. It resembles a half crescent of some sort and was constantly flipping sides, it looked like a ribbon dancing in the air.

I did see a couple planes in the same area at the time, there was one that passed by very close.

I took one photo where I was barly zoomed in at all, this shows the distance on the object. The second photo I took, I zoomed in as much as possible.
