Robert Parker Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi All, Whilst sitting enjoying a sly beer I noticed this in the sky. No noise at all just drifting but following the main road A4068. Sorry the photos are not the finest quality but it was approximately 1000ft +. I managed to grab my camera and took a couple of photos with a 18-300 lens then again with a 150 -500 with 2x inbuilt converter. There seems to be a green LED On zooming in on the photos no rotor blades can be seem. i'll see if i can enhance the photos a bit. Any ideas, Regards Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Some kind of novelty balloon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Parker Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Colin the balloon idea crossed my mind, but with an LED and camera difficult to see on the posted photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Sharples Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Looks like a bunch of these balloons, helium filled and tied together. They are made of shiny foil material so they can give of a reflection hence the led light.

Mowerman Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Reminds me of when a pal at work got exited on seeing what he thought was a UFO. When we got the binoculars out we could see it was Father Christmas, actually a large inflatable santa that had 'escaped' from ?? This was slowly drifting along the flight path about 12 miles from Heathrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
