A balloon certainly can't be ruled out based on the behavior displayed. Was there anything else you can think of Fender, that might set this object apart from a balloon?

I wish you had gotten a video . I'm sure how it was moving ,would be much more telling .
To me ,it does look like a silver balloon in the photos ,but I've never seen one shaped that way before ,so I'd love to see it in motion ,to get a better feel for it.

Air currents move differently at different elevations.  Just because it didn't feel windy where you stood on the ground does not mean that there couldn't have been a breeze up where the balloon was.

Good to see you again Fender.

From my perspective, it was moving under its own controll.

I have been scanning the skies every day and night and am used to how things look normally. This was very out of the ordinary. When i first spotted it, the object looked like it was over the river (1/2 to 1 mile away.) It moved in a flat circle then quickly vanished, going directly away from me.

The whole thing was not normal. anyway. The pictures deserve further a further look. I'm telling ya, it was really wierd, not like a balloon. I see baloons here all the time. sorry for my spelling.

Looks an awful lot like a balloon to me.

Edit:

Silver mylar balloons come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Google image search.

Or several balloons bunched together.

Possibly ones from Halloween.

It was too big to be a balloon and it moved with controll. It looked like it was under its own controll & was odd how it hovered in my camera view, but when i ran to get a better view, it vanished.

It moved from one place to the other, stopping then reversing direction. It did have a wobble or is was spinning slowly. It seemed to change shape. I did not think it was a balloon. When i got closer it seemed to move away from me. It didnt go east or west. It went away from me, so it appeared as tho it was getting smaller.

So at first, it moved back and forth slowly over the river. As i emerged from the buildings for a better view, the unknown object moved away from me getting smaller, then vanished in the distance.

I've seen something as simple as a piece of paper or plastic bag (or a balloon) move like you describe.

How come no one ever has a good telephoto lens for shots like these. I never see anything strange in the sky when I have my 400mm lens with me....

It was "wobbling" and "turning over" but you had the impression that it was moving under its own control?

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably be like that in a couple of hours... ...but that hardly seems like the behavior of an aerial vehicle to me.  What it seems like is a balloon.

What exactly about it makes you think that it wasn't a balloon?  You've stated that it was too large...  okay, how do you know what size it was?  Why couldn't it have been a large balloon?  Or perhaps a cluster of balloons tied together as suggested by Euphorbia?

I understand your keen interest in sightings and UFOs at this point after your previous experience, but I have to be honest with you Fender.  Right now it seems like you're seeing what you want to see instead of objectively assessing what was actually there.

I zoomed in with it on my phone and good grief is it hard to tell what it is. But when you say it just disappeared is what's confusing to me, I believe you saw what you saw but I'm stumped

[FenderJazzBass]

I've enhanced the colors and played with some filters in GIMP to see if anything else is revealed. I'm telling you, it was the size of a small plane when i first saw it. It didnt' look like a balloon to me. I see many balloons where i live and this didnt look like or move like it. Either believe me or not, i wouldnt waste your time talking about a ballon. Anyway, It moved from one side of the street to the other wobbling. I understand that balloons also wobble but this was different. Trust me. This was not a normal flying object. It was big the size of a small plane and got smaller as i came out of the buildings and up on to the levee for s better view. anyway, i'ev done my job. Made the report. The truth is out there and its more fantastic than i could ever imagine.

Did you get bored from your last sighting?

I see you have these things happen quite often. ( compared to most )

1st post anyways, here's what happened to me 2 days ago 6:30 am

'Just saw a massive triangle shaped craft hover and stop in the middle of the street about 1 mile away from me. It was shining very, very bright lights down onto me such that the shape of the craft was not visable. It then flew away up into the clouds in a couple seconds. It vanished into the clouds flying 1,000 times faster than anything i've ever witnessed.

Yes, I recall that thread well.  I don't think anyone had a good explanation for what he saw down there in New Orleans.

That's a real possibility.  If was very close it could be a little remote-controlled aircraft.

To me, it looks like something that has three engines, wings, a tail and possibly even landing gear.
