UFOs???!!!

 

Woh...I don't think so.

 

What if we ask google?

They are all ~ half blue grey, half white; round; above when appears to be residential buildings.

 

The first is different; the "line" between the colors does not run left/right; it does not line up with shadows from the buildings; and it runs parallel with rather than perpendicular to the closest body of water.

 

They are either reflections from the inside of a webber grill cover or lost helium balloons from a child's birthday party.

I emailed google asking if they knew anything about them.
