Multiple Spheres or balloons ? ? over England Race Way

Bedfordshire, England

While clearing out unwanted photos taken earlier this year, I was about to delete the enclosed image when I noticed a group of spheres in the sky which I had been unaware of at the time of taking the photograph.

The obvious identity would seem to be balloons, but given the pronounced wind indicated by the flag, they appear to be very closely grouped under the conditions and given their apparent elevation.

The photo was taken 10.09 am on March 14th of this year, which isn't a likely time in England for garden fetes or such events when balloons might be expected to be released.

The location was the drag racing facility of Santa Pod in the UK during a very minor motor cycle event. The area of the facility up-wind of where the photo was taken was not in use and the nearest inhabited village of Podington is at least a mile away.

Two of the central spheres appear to have peripheral areas of shadow at about the 11-o-clock position.

These are quite distinct if the image is enlarged and the gamma is reduced. They seem something of a curiosity as none of the others appear to have these shadows.

I hope the image is of interest.

I enclosed a 25% version of the full image plus a full size crop of the area showing the objects.
