A researcher visited this location near to 'Intech', (since renamed as The Winchester Science Centre), on Sunday 10-05-09 to conduct some skywatching, and captured an unusual object flying low over the fields there.
He said "I was just photographing the landscape at the back
of the 'Intech' site, when I noticed something
moving out of the corner of my eye . At first
I thought it
might have been a bird
perhaps, but
didn't really see this
object
properly whilst taking
pictures.
Then
I looked at
the
images on my camera, and there
it was on the very first image, a
black object, then on the
next shot
it had
gone".
He asked BEAMS to examine the 2 images... which we did, and they are shown here completely unaltered.
After
magnification
and other tests, we are left with
no idea as to
what the
object
might
be.
In our opinion it is
something real,
that's
for sure... but not a balloon, (as the shadows are not consistent with
those of such an object), neither is it a bird or
a bug
.

Somebody suggested that this was just a child's helium balloon; but note the shadows (marked in the above max enlargement crop of object) in our opinion these dark patches are NOT consistent with those of a balloon.
Also, remembering that what we are looking at is very far away, a party balloon would be practically invisible from such a distance; this is likely to be something of quite a respectable size.
