While sitting with a friend watching TV in my home, I glanced out my window from my sofa to see an object rise to the sky from behind the building in front of my home. It looked like a star but no other stars that I could see. It was dusk. I knew what it was right away as it's not the first time I've seen this type of thing in the sky.I told my friend to look at the star just (at that time,level with the church steeple) in front of us and not to take eyes off it! We both sat by the window for around 20 mins. During that time it did not move at all! I could tell it was a good distance away but I don't know exactly. I felt very excited and also a bit scared.Suddenly it started to descend the same way it rose when I first noticed it. My friend was excited to see this as he's never seen this before. He wasn't freaked by it but said it was weird and he could not explain it.A few minutes later my friend left but before he left, he suggested recording it if it happened again. 15 minutes after I saw descend,it rose again as before but this time higher than the church steeple till it stopped.At this point I started to record it. It stayed at this higher place for a few minutes then descended again till obscured by the building in front of me. I could not tell where,how far or if it indeed landed. I stayed by the window for hours after waiting for it to appear again but it never did.
