Unknown object over Istanbul Sept. 5 2009

The object seems to sway back and forth like a feather floating to earth.

Could be debris although it is luminescent and very large.

Thoughts?

I swear there are kite lines underneath.Anyone else seeing them?

I am learning to kitesurf (very slowly due to kids and work) and have a 12.5 meter flexfoil storm kite. I have thought before it would be cool to fly it at night with leds or something on it as it is a huge kite and would look very impressive lit up.And of course in the dark you won't see the lines.

Interesting theory. I do not see them, but it would fit the movement I think although the altitude seems to high for strings and a kite.

lines on the kite can be anywhere from 20-40m long thats pretty high up when looking from the ground.

Hi,
interesting video. I also live in Istanbul and I dont think that this is a kite.
In the video, the family discussing what it could be. The daughter says, it is a baloon, the father says, no way, because it is stationary and the lights are too strong.
The object seems like this one

Here is some more kite action this time at night.

Of course there is possibility that this is a kite, but I have never seen a kite with lights in Istanbul
Besides, the witness say that it was stationary and with strong lights to be kites. (They were thinking it might be a baloon).

Honestly after seeing his video of kites at night I am more convinced it is not a kite now, the kites moved dramatically this object was pretty stationary only swaying a bit.. although that possibility still remains... I don't hold it to be a likely explanation.

i too think it was a kite after seeing the other vids but it could be something else entirely.

since there is no reference point or objects (again for the thousandth time), it could be a small vessel on the sea being tossed by wave action. the "light" itself does not bend of wave, but the entire object moves as if it is riding on a wave. there are black bars seperating the light, as if we are looking at struts at one lighted deck level. i have been at sea and this looks somewhat familiar, especially on lighter and smaller fishing craft seen at a distance.

Did you compare this video with the link I posted above? The chinese ufo and this have stunning similarities.

Actually I noticed that as well. They were quite similar. Thanks for sharing that video it is one I missed previously. Really don't know what to make of it. Very odd indeed.

Hi there Nephratari! Nice to see you!

Here is a link to the weather data for Istanbul on the 5th:
