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..
Then again I might have thought it was descending to land!!!
By the way, my dogs couch is an old, ratty couch that we have placed on the pattio for him, he uses it as his bed. I refer to my dog as "my dog" because I was raised by my parents, and just because I moved away I still consider him to be "my" dog, my families dog.
I still sometimes call it "my home" too, along with "my neighbors". I did live there for 19 years of my life...
Again I apologize, I really wish it had been a real ridgy didge alien spacecraft but it wasn't.
I'm sure there are REAL spacecraft visiting this planet, and some footage is REAL.. just not mine

Although I don't have access to the original data, in this case it is not needed. The object in the video is CLEARLY moving in sync with the camera shake.

Well, you removed the videos for some reason. I would like it if you could upload it again.

Not to impune your good work, but I would lighten up on the self-praise. It detracts from your dignitas.
If you're as good as you say you are, then your work will speak for itself.
Just some friendly advice

There is no self-praise here. This member is simply telling their background for analysis.
You critique other members non stop. All you do is complain how people analyze things and try to come up with words that are not common to make yourself look smarter than you are.
You seem as though we need to come to you for awards of the honor of detective, psychologist, and so on.
Is your advice supposed to better AllIsOne? What makes you the authority on how people need to act on the internet.
Who are you, Al Gore?
If your are going to give advice, why don't you sent it the the members that need it from by U2U.
Your advice does not contribute to the thread at hand.
That is just some friendly advice to you.
Now let's get back to the topic we are discussing.

I'm a bad man.
I'm a really bad parent as well.
I can't socialize.
Anything else?

I analyzed it with my common sense.
