Spotted on the school run as it was glinting in the sky. It was stationary and spinning counter clockwise for a good few seconds before it moved rightwards and away slowly.
Only video edits were;
– delete audio (kids were hassling me as we were late for school, and no one else needs to hear that!)
– cropped because the end is just the tree and ground
Most likely a balloon, but sharing in case anyone can pull something more definitive from the video.

Weird indeed!
It looks like it’s shape shifting as it’s spinning – did you notice that IRL?
Mylarian craft.
This actually is a balloon
Sky trash aka Mylar balloon or similar.
This is similar to what I saw it was really close to the ground but seemed farther away in video
Hmmmmm saw something VERY similar today in New Rochelle, NY. I had chalked it up to a balloon until I saw this post. Literally the same object. Odd.
