    Can you show me a balloon that would match the size we see on this video, It's entirely possible this is a balloon, but there has to be balloon examples online?

    I'm telling you that no pilot would go anywhere near an unidentified large object. That's just a fact, whether you want to believe it or not.

    If you really want to be provided with pictures of balloons,
    here's a jumbo black latex balloon, apparently there are lots of sizes that can be ordered and not just standard balloons are sold.

    I saw a more transparent version of that in Wicklow recently, assumed it was a big balloon of some sort, took a snap on my phone.

    So you can't find anything to match the size of the object. Just another person with a explanation and nothing to back this up with, i see.

    I lost my grip on a Leisureplex balloon about 15 years ago. Not saying that's it but wouldn't be surprised.

    You're insisting it's a large object. It's not. it's in the foreground of the video, the helicopter is very clearly in the background. It's perfectly obvious, though you appear unwilling to accept that.

    It's not a large object with a helicopter flying within '5 to 10 feet' of it, and no pilot would fly even a fraction that close.

    I will never understand the obsession with UFOs and weird objects in the sky equals UFO's for sure. I am obsessed with tea but I don't thing everything I see in the sky that I can't explain is a giant teabag.

    It's not tiny, it looks comparable in size with the helicopter. When the helicopter circled it did not appear bigger. It's an unidentified flying object. The most probably explanation it is a man made object. Anyway i leave to you guys to debate about it.

    I think what Candie is saying is that it's impossible the object was the same size as the helicopter if that was the case the helicopter would not fly near it due to safely reasons.

    Sometimes it's difficult to judge size when distance is involved but that object is not the same size as the helicopter, that's why you can see the balloon more clear than the actual helicopter.

    The helicopter did not circle it. The helicopter is in the background, it's in the foreground considerably closer to the camera.

    It's shaped like a balloon, moves like a balloon and looks like a balloon.

    Chances are, it's a balloon.

    Well, it’s a sadly familiar sort of internet attention-seeking behaviour.

    Couple that with all of the bizarre typing, spelling, and grammatical errors, and it’s pretty clear what sort of person engages in this.

    Ugh not so sure about that. I often make terrible spelling errors and not so great with the auld grammar. I would be on the mindset that spelling and grammar is a measure of how good you are at English.

    It has to be a UFO, there's no other possible explanation.
    I don't know much about science, but I know what I like.

    Could be the the owners of FRB121102, but they showed up rather quick from 3bn lt-lys away.
    Then again the last time the white coats got an interesting Fast-Radio-Burst, turned out it was the microwave from their canteen!

    Joking aisde, have seen the same as some of the above, last year about three silver balls going unique opposing paths before vanishing.

    Back in the late-80's seen a large pair of silent black triangles, with non flashing lights.
    This was about the same time lots of local farmers had their animals interfered with.

    Accusing farmers of 'interfering' with their animals is a bit passé now lad.

    This wasn't the regular sort of animal friendship sort of thing that was reported in the local newspapers. Was more of the internal organ removal type thing. From memory, think a couple of moo cows were turned inside out, needless to say the owners weren't overjoyed with the green/grey men doing such things.

    In the recording he said it looks like an eyeball. This seems similar...

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    I don't believe in the existence of Aliens although just because I don't believe in them doesn't mean they don't exist. I like facts and science and explanations and proof.

    People used to believe the earth was flat until it was proven otherwise. I am open to be learning and changing my mind but only when it's proved.

    I hear what you're saying, though with one minor quibble.
    I'm not sure if the 'animal friendship sort of thing' of which you speak should ever be 'regularised' as such.
    I think there might be some 'consent issues' for starters, but I suppose we're part of the EU now so when in Rome etc.
