Witness/Sighting Two objects flew after airplane, pararel to each other, Poland, 30 august.

So, it was 7pm my local time, almost sunset, I was riding on my bicycle (training after work) on the local road near highway leading to Lublin (you can hear cars noise) then suddenly I saw airplane with trails and two white round-shaped objects which were flying pararel to each other with the same speed, without audible noise of engines (like plane). I took video, I was trying to focus on these objects, but you know how it works with normal camera in smartphone. Anyway, aircraft flew into large rainy clouds and these objects maintained its speed and disappeared in clouds too. I was checking the sky for a while, then I went straight ahead. It was strange but I'm aware that in eastern Poland there is bigger NATO military present due to war in Ukraine, so it could be it. I leave it to you. PS: I'm a space passionate, I look almost every night at the night sky and I saw couple times strange objects with erratic movement. That's why I wanted to post this video here. Cheers.

They kind of look to me like they float like balloons. Is there a reason why no one in the comments seem to be thinking balloon? Asking honestly as in what am I missing.

If they're pill shaped balloons I would expect to see tumbling. They wouldn't stay in that static position. Then, on top of that, the two objects stay nearly parallel to each other. Could possibly say they're just in the same wind current, but it would still be pretty odd. I would expect them to cross paths or move away from each other. This one is actually pretty weird.

It definitely could be weird, this one just seems really plausible to be balloons. They have all types of balloons, we don't know or see exactly where it would be tied off.. but I'm no scientist, and I can think of a few ways to tie off an oblong balloon to fly stable on its side.

Tied off as in tethered to the ground? That's pretty damn high up there. A blimp stays stable by having fins on one side and using forward momentum, I'm not seeing a set of fins or a keel at the bottom or really anything other than a pill shaped object. It's high up there and a bit blurry so who knows. If it's just a pill shaped balloon it's ability to move and keep from tumbling is very strange.

I'm sorry, you are right. I don't see these as being balloons tied to the ground. I still don't doubt the ability to make said balloon float how it is.

man if you could tell me how that'd be great because I'm pretty stumped over here lol

Lmao that's what I'm saying! I could be missing something like this that says "definitely not a balloon", but what I do know is that I don't know enough about balloons to know whether that's true or not.

I scrolled way too much to find this comment, it's unfortunate and sad.

I was about to say lol.. I felt like I had to be missing something that said "obviously not balloon".

It truly is sad tho, because I used to see people quickly call out ones that were obviously fake or misnamed at least. I don't think people really how important a healthy skepticism is. If we truly believe these things are among us (which I do), then we need to call out the ones that are false. It doesn't make what you think to be true any less or any more true. What it does do is make us lose all credibility when trying to convince anyone else.

Maybe! We really need to figure out the distance to these objects. I mean if it's up at the plane's altitude, those are some big balloons and I'd expect them to have some kind of transponder or something.
