Not exactly. It should read, "She stood there, transfixed by the floating thing". The sentence is a little awkward. If you're recounting events that have already happened, you should stick to the past tense at any rate. If you want to stay in the present tense, it should read, "She stands there, transfixed by the floating thing".

Why say floating thing? It doesn't make for interesting reading. You should paint the picture for your reader.....
