Stationary floating black object in the sky

Driving with spouse and two kids westbound on highway 3 between Marcus, IA and Remsen, IA, between 8:00-8:30 am. North of the highway are all corn or soybean fields, interspersed with large wind turbines. I am driving and look to my right and see a large black object floating in the sky, roughly at the height of the windmill blade tips. The windmills are scattered across the farmland. The weather was sunny and clear. The object spherical, but with a tip at the bottom. I thought it may have been a hot air balloon as its shape was similar. My spouse saw the object also. However, it didn't make sense to fly a hot air balloon in the middle of a field of wind turbines. It was also charcoal or black colored, which I have never seen a hot air balloon that color. The road is slightly hilly. I watched it as I drove until the geography obstructed our view. It did not appear to move, which if a hot air balloon had found itself amongst wind turbines, it likely would have landed. I didn't see a basket or any sort of tethering to the ground, but it had that upside down tear drop shape. It appeared to shine in the sun somewhat. Object was a few miles away, maybe 2-4. It looked smaller than the turbine blades, which are ~150 feet, so it was maybe 50-75 feet in diameter and slightly more in height. No other traffic in the area.

Occurred: 2013-02-04 19:36 Local
Reported: 2013-02-04 17:15 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Remsen, NY, USA

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Lights on object

There was a flying object seen flying and hovering over and around my town.

I saw a shape in the sky, mostly in the shape of a cylinder, but it was kind of silhouetted so I was kind of unsure. It had two green lights in the front and back and was seen both hovering and moving by three people.
