Initial data
Ochevidec photographed over the Australian city of Brisbane, a strange object. The Orb hovering in the sky that was moving from South to North, I slowed to a stop before re-start to move in a straight line. He was moving very slowly. The witness took several photos on the camera using digital zoom. Then the object disappeared behind a cloud.

Original news
Further past the Ibis I noticed an orb/ball hovering still in the sky that then started to move from south to north - it occasionally slowed to a stop before starting to move again in a reasonaably straight line. It was traveling very slowly and nothing like the plane I saw a few minutes earlier. I asked my wife to keep watch while I went indoors and got my binoculars and digital camera. I took some photos on full optical and digital zoom that are not particularly clear due to the distance and reflection off the object. Through the binoculars however I could see that the object was a solid ball but could not ascertain the size as I had nothing to compare it to. I would guess it was maybe 1 meter or so in diameter as it was definitely not as big as an aircraft but larger than the Ibis (they have an average wingspan of 110 - 123cm). Eventually the object moved in a large arc to the west before going behind a cloud. The cloud dissipated and the object was gone - I had been watching the whole time and it did not re-appear from the cloud but just vanished. I initially thought it may have been a satellite as I had observed them before but when it changed direction and came to a stand still I ruled that out (though I am no expert on satellites and their movement).
Hypotheses
Balloons and balls
Balloon — aircraft (balloon), which is used for the flight gas, which is lighter than air.
Balloons - different sizes and shapes size toy, often made of latex. Is inflated with air or other gas. If the gas is lighter than air, the ball gains the ability to fly. The photo looks like a small dot. The colors and the opacity depends on the texture and color of the ball.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)
- Site: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Eastern Test Range, Cape Canaveral, Florida (USA) Vehicle: Atlas-5(411)¹ Payload: SBIRS-GEO 4 (USA 282)
Investigation
We can assume that it is a balloon because it moved not evenly (probably the wind). It is impossible to say, since there is no pictures taken without approximation.
