What is this dark object passing in front of Mars?

I spotted this strange object through my telescope when I was filming Mars but what is it?

I posted the footage of this ufo on my astobiscuit facebook page and thousands of people thought they knew what it was and gave me a whole range of answers.The top 8 theories were...
Mar's Moon
Bug in the lens
Satellite
Aliens
Bird
Asteroid
Space Junk
Weather Balloon
... but they can't all be right. So I decided to go on a journey into space and try to find out what this object passing in front of Mars really is.

Fantastic video as always Astrobiscuit , the only thing that puzzles me about the balloon hypothesis is that you measured the speed of the object against Mars's movement and you said that the object had to be stationary....? Balloons are not stationary as they float along the wind and the higher the balloon is and in this case very high, the stronger the wind flow..?

[@g.j.647]

It would be interesting to get meteorologic data about wind speed and direction at that time and hight. Maybe the wind was pointing right to or from the observer?

[@hedgehog3180]

It doesn't have to be stationary, it just isn't moving relative to him.

This was a lot of fun and I'm impressed that you do astrophotography in what appears to be in an urban area in the south of England. I might make a suggestion as to your balloon theory. Ultra high altitude balloons are a lot more sophisticated these days. for example they can be equipped with pressure regulators, ballast, spare helium, altimeters and GPS not to mention cellular telemetry or old school shortwave or even satellite links. It is entirely possible to build a long duration high altitude balloon that's flight time can be measured in weeks or even months.

If it's too small to be a plane, it could just be dust. It also looks like there are actually 2 objects, one just stayed near the edge the main one came from and didn't fully transit.

[@chosentonessournotes]

But how does that explain the atmospheric distortion?

[@Mr.Nichan]

@@chosentonessournotes Yeah, maybe it doesn't make sense. The video convinced me that it couldn't be ON the camera (I probably "brave[ly]"made this suggestion at the beginning of the video, when he said to), but I'm not sure if it could be floating in the aur near the camera and look like this. Probably not, at least not without being large, though. Watching it again, I like the balloon theory, especially since he didn't rigorously look at all the possible height-size relationships of balloons and see where the curves for common balloon sizes touch the height-size curve required by his observation (almost linearly related to the height-distance curve). That means his arguments against it being a balloon (weather or otherwise) are not sound if they are as given. Final caveat: The object looked to me more like a blurry, irregular object orderly rotating balistically than an object appearing to wave back and forth randomely due to atmospheric distortion

[@chosentonessournotes]

You're testing the flexibility of the balloon at ambiant temps, wouldn't it be less flexible at higher heights given the temperature drop ?

[@mrscruffy8045]

What puzzles me is that "a 30cm baloon would have to be 8km high..." (~22:54 - because it would have to be 30km away for things to scale), "...but at that height it would take up 3 times as much space." What isnt clear to me, is wether this expansion is already factored in those 8km of required height. It doesnt seem to be so, from what the vid says. As the baloon expands during its rise, the required distance to the telescope would shrink, and with that the baloon´s required height. So this just wouldnt add up... What am i missing?

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Helium atoms are so small as to pass through the balloon material over time. This is why Helium filled party balloons are usually deflated enough not to rise after a period of a few hours. It might be possible that a balloon not initially filled to capacity but enough to defy gravity would rise and expand, all the while leaking Helium atoms all over the place. It would still rise but not expand enough to pass it's limit of structural integrity. But of course, all of this is just theory and would require further study.

I couldn't help but think of this part of the movie _2010: The Year We Make Contact_ HAL-9000: Dr. Chandra, I detect strong vocal stress patterns. Is there a problem? Dr. Chandra: No, Hal; the mission is proceeding normally. Can you analyze the image on monitor circuit #2? HAL-9000: Yes. There is a circular object near the equator. It is 22,000 kilometers in diameter. It is comprised of rectangular objects. Dr. Chandra: How many? HAL-9000: 1,355,000, plus or minus 1,000. Dr. Chandra: And what is the proportion of the objects in question? HAL-9000: 1 by 4 by 9. Dr. Chandra: Do you recognize these objects? HAL-9000: Yes. They are identical in size and shape to the object you call the Monolith. 10 minutes to ignition. All systems nominal. Dr. Chandra: Is the number of monoliths constant? HAL-9000: No. They are increasing. Dr. Chandra: At what rate? HAL-9000: Once every 2 minutes.
