It is such a shame that a proper discussion of this footage has descended yet again into a 'ITS FAKE', 'NO WAY ITS REAL', slug fest, with people adding nothing new to the actual discussion.

OK people, I have done some digging around.
I am very sorry to announce that I made some phone calls, and my neighbor does indeed own a weather monitoring balloon that he releases while keeping it tethered to the ground.
I don't know what type it is or anything like that, but he informed me that it looks saucer shaped and is constructed of a material that gives it a highly reflective surface.
The smaller object was again another type of balloon that is tethered, so had I stayed to watch it would have indeed stopped in mid air and appeared to "hover" as well.
The lack of any strong winds that day accounted for the stationary position of the balloon, I had asked him if he moves it around when it is suspended and he uses some kind of pulley that he can move around in his yard.
I asked him if he had released it on the 06th on November in the late afternoon and he informed me he had done it a couple of times that week!
I am not the first person to see it and ask around about a UFO either...
I don't know why I didn't notice any tether at the time, and i certainly can't see one in the videos.. It must be tranparent or plastic or blue I did't ask.
All I can say is I am extremely let down... The moment I got in contact with him and I heard the laugh from him in the phone my heart sunk into my stomach.
I am very sorry people, I'm pretty shattered about it. I'm sorry if anyone here was extremely excited as I was and is now very annoyed at me or let down.
I have told my dad that if he see's the balloon in use again, film it anyway and I will take his footage and post it for anyone to look at in higher detail..
I am only assuming my neighbor reeled both balloons back in the MOMENT I had ran back inside which annoys me to the highest degree, because I would have realized at that moment it was a tethered balloon..
