wouldn't ballons be spread out, im asking because i dont know, but that would seem logical.


If they were at a high enough altitude, they may hav been further apart than they appeared from the ground.

Here is a picture someone else took at 23:15 ( After sunset ) around 200 KM north.

Not much to see.. but it seams to be related as the sighting trail and reports go from south to north that evening.

There are a few light dots in the picture without good reference. Anyway, better as nothing.

I can not compare it visually as my sighting was way sharper and with daylight and naked eye / optical lens.

Other or same sighting at night that evening

Most star gazers with telescopes that can track celestial objects know they can see stars and planets during the day if they locate then predawn and track them after the sun comes up. Depends on their brightness; Venus, Sirius and Jupiter are brighter, so easier to see during daylight.

Then, certainly, we all should agree that the objects were unidentified and than, especially since there were three of them visible to two witnesses and the lights later disappeared (and as stars or orbital objects should have become more visible as dusk approached) they fully classify as being UFOs per the proper application of the term. That classification is justified in that normal explanations have been largely ruled out.

The ISS and stars can definitely be ruled out. Which leaves us with man-made objects. I would have guessed that theese might be geostationary satellites glinting in the sun, but geostationary satellites are deployed around the equator.

So, most probably those were high-altitude weather balloons.

Fair enough. No idea what it might be, then.

Tnx so far for all reactions.

I guess we will not find out exactly, but it was rare enough to generate a few sightings reported on Facebook and some ufo sites.. maybe some more will pop up.

And it was also one of the rare days t the air was extremely clear on all levels not a single cloud, haze and even better not a single plane leaving more then a short "normal" trail! Outstandingly topped with that strange sighting!
It was a nice day!

It's "security". Nothing to see here. Move along.

I remember watching a helium balloon go into the sky when I was a kid, until it was so far way I had to strain to see it. I then started noticing that I could see stars in broad daylight with a bright blue sky. I saw many of them. I was amazed that I had never noticed them before in daylight.

Sorry, but it's the fact that you can't see stars in the blue daylight sky with the naked eye. If that weren't the case, seeing stars in the daylight sky would have been known and well-documented since antiquity. The most you could hope for, is seeing Venus, if you know exactly where to look, and see Jupiter with the help of a telescope. The blue daylight sky is just too bright to see stars.

They definitely were not geostationary satellites. Those must be stationed out at around 22,000 miles. To far away for naked-eye observation.

A ballon probably, huh?

ISS hauls buns across the sky...the fastest of them all, seems

so not that

High altitude balloons would be the most practical explanation. But they must still be classified as UFOs unless some source can be named that released balloons about that time.
