It's most likely a burst weather balloon , its proximity to the airport would give them good reason to keep an eye on it.
It's most likely not a weather balloon considering it submerges into water and then emerges again at a better rate of speed.
I assume that was an attempt at sarcasm ?

You assume wrongly.

Then please refute the (what appear valid to me) reasons given in the report as to why it can't be a balloon - primarily speed and change of direction.
Otherwise what is that makes you come to that conclusion ?

At first I thought some of the skeptics on here were just hard to please, which I am also hard to please. However, if you come on here saying this is a bird you are either trolling or just refuse to admit what your eyes are showing you. No idea what this is, but I know what it is not and that is a bird. As for people claiming its being circled and not really accelerating, that is also absurd

Birds have heat signatures in infra-red.

According to the report, so does the object in the video.
A group of UFO researchers with backgrounds in science have come together to analyze an alleged UFO video they have confirmed comes from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

DHS knows what it is. It's a balloon, or pack of balloons.
This report wasn't compiled by DHS, it's compiled by a known UFO Hoaxer Jose Martinez.
Read the source article:

Frame by frame analysis indicated that there might be a slight wave or movement of the water as the object entered the ocean. It is unknown at the time of this report if the U.S. or another nation has developed the ability to diminish water displacement caused on impact. it is more difficult to explain the lack of significant deceleration as it entered the water despite the absence of an identifiable power supply.

So , what makes you think it isn't a balloon other than this suspect report ?

They can't determine the speed because the camera filming the object is moving at an unknown speed and altitude. We have no idea how fast this object is moving.
