A fast-moving object merges from the back of the Swiss clock tower at the train station from Zurich to Rinzehorn, Switzerland. The object is moving very fast. 

A family of 3 people and 1 friend went to Germany. After landing in Zurich, Switzerland took the train from the airport to catch the ferry from Rinzehorn to Friedrichshafen, Germany, to meet relatives. Armed with a Sharp HI 8 view camera, he shot video at every stage of the journey and throughout the two-week trip to Europe. 

I took a video from a train window while at a train station in Switzerland. Video shows birds flying over Swiss clock tower… Then some object (metal) * appears from behind the Swiss tower and stops for half a second, then goes down at an angle of 45 degrees.... and disappeared! 

I didn't see the object during the video recording ... but after playing it on TV, I saw something strange, so I rewound the film and played it in slow motion and frame-by-frame, and it seems to have reflective properties, suggesting that it might be metallic.

In the course of further analysis, I ran it through my computer with a SNAPY 3.0 Deluxe and zoomed it in, and it turned out to be a somewhat oval disk of metallic shape, bluish in color with white highlights on top and a super dark (black) shadow on the bottom.

I played back the rest of the tape and saw several other strange, fast-flying objects flying in the sky, including one emerging from Lake Constance, near old Kassel. That is all. 

PS I apologize for the spelling.

Капля (или загрязнение) на объективе или стекле

Often it's a small point on the photos, like hovering metal ball. At least - this is quite a big blur. Color, brightness and the presence of a highlight depends on the color of the reflected light source, background shooting and drop form.

Shape, color and density of pollution may vary depending on the source of the contamination and its nature. This can be as a desired pattern on the glass, and random.
