Two days ago I was looking for unidentifiables, expecting to see nothing I watch the clouds laying in my lawn chair recliner with binocs glued to my head scanning the sky, high in the north western sky I noticed a very small shinny objects travelling in front of the clouds on a slow consistent south west path. I observed it for a good 20 minutes when my neighbour startled me to ask to check why the sink leaks. about 10-15 minutes later I was outside again trying to find where it had gone. from my first observation I predicted that if on the same path it would be somewhere in front of it(obviously) after looking all over, to my excitement I had found it again. It appeared much farther away. In the back of my mind from when I frist saw it I had been telling myself to grab my telescope and have a look, but hesitated. I figured I would lose it and never see it again doing so. after a long viewing of the object through binoculars and not seeing much more than a point of silver light I took my telescope out and tried to find it. it took me a while to find. by now it was low in the west travelling what seemed to be farther away and creeping north. I took about 30 pictures through my telescope in magnifications ranging from 48x96x and 120x the pictures were quite blury due to my lack of camera skills. I then used the cameras video recording option and recorded 3 clips 2 in 120x mag and 1 in 48x magnification. The object was perfect round. On the clips the scope is bouncing slightly due to wind and shifts when I attempt to center the object. The picture I am sending is taken from the third video and sharpened with paint shop pro, and is my fav image from the event so far. I would like to think it is a weatherballoon but the characteristics of the objects and what I have been seeing on the internet, leed me to think otherwise. maybe someone can debunk this.
