I have a air conditioner unit that blows air up at about a 50 degree angle. A large balloon moved in front of the air flow and it hovered in place about 3 feet away. How does it do this?

Was the AC blowing towards a wall?

It reached equilibrium.
The real answer is we need more info.

No, the ac gets air from outside and it is against the wall. There isn't anything else in the air flow.

On summer days sometimes my head will hover about 3 feet in front of the a/c.
