On November 14, 2011, between 3:50 PM and 4:00 PM, a witness filmed the movements of a black dot in the cloudy sky: by zooming in heavily with their camcorder, a dark object appeared. Viewing the footage strongly suggests the movement of a helium balloon. The observed direction of movement is consistent with the southeast wind. Of low strangeness and medium consistency, this observation case is certainly the result of confusion with a festive balloon inflated with helium. This case is classified A.
