   No. A balloon is always (mostly) stationary with respect to the airmass that   
   it is in. With respect to the ground it goes whereever the wind goes.   
      
   The only time it's not stationary in the airmass is when something is   
   dragging on the ground (as at launch or landing) or when it is passing   
   through a windshear.
