Sighted a "satellite" that stopped and stayed.

At the above time, I was out on my third floor balcony, watching the meteor shower. Since we have so much light pollution, I was using a night vision scope (image intensifier type) that cuts through the bright sky. After sighting a few meteors, I spotted what I was sure was a satellite. It was the same apparent Size and brightness as the stars in the sky. It was following a straight steady course. As I watched it, I thought it was wiggling or changing speed, but I chalked that up to eye strain, etc. But then the object stopped! It froze in place and just appeared to be another star. My arms were tired already, so I watched it as long as I could and it did not move. The object was in the NE sky at about 45 degrees moving to the west. Since I was using the night scope, it is possible that it wouldn't be visible to the naked eye.
