Initial data
Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2009
Time: 19:01
Location: Dinsdale, Hamilton
Features/Characteristics: spherical object
Description:
The sun has just set; windless; cloudy areas with a little rain.
The witness went to her mailbox to pick up the afternoon mail. She decided to take a picture because she saw a great opportunity to take a picture with a sunset and a rain cloud. The witness took 4 photos with a difference of a few seconds. At that time, she didn't notice anything unusual in the sky.
After uploading the photos to her computer, she noticed what she thought was a mark or a speck of dust in the first photo, but when she zoomed in on the photo, she saw a very large spherical object among the sediments.
The second photo taken a few seconds later shows that the same object has moved a considerable distance to the left and from the photographer. The third photo shows that the object has moved further and a little higher. The object is not in the fourth photo.
Ufocus NZ Comment:
ATC confirmed that this balloon/object was not a weather balloon or balloon. Weather balloons usually have an elongated shape and carry equipment suspended under the balloon. There is no visible basket or equipment on this object. In addition, the ATC informed us that it is unlikely that a large balloon of any type will be released at this time of day, given the usually prevailing winds and the relatively close proximity to the airport.
The spherical object is located inside the rain column itself and, therefore, is not a camera error, a trick of light or rain on the lens, since it is clear that the object is moving and moving away into the distance in the next two photos taken, and in the last photo it is not at all.

Description:
Sun just setting; no wind; cloudy patches with some rain.
A witness went to her letterbox to collect the day’s mail. She decided to take a photograph as she saw a great photo opportunity with the sunset and the shower cloud. The witness took 4 photos – each a few seconds apart. She noticed nothing untoward in the sky at the time.
Upon loading the photos onto her computer, she noticed what she thought was a mark or speck of dust in the first photo, but upon enlarging the photo she saw a very large spherical object within the rainfall.
The second photo taken seconds later shows the same object has moved some considerable distance to the left and away from the photographer. The third photo shows the object has receded further away and slightly higher. The object is not in the fourth photo.
Ufocus NZ comment: ATC confirmed this ball/object was not a weather or hot air balloon. Weather balloons are generally elongated and carry equipment suspended below the balloon. There is no visible basket or equipment suspended from this object. In addition, ATC informed us that it would be highly unlikely for a sizeable balloon of any kind to be released in the air at that time of the day given usually prevailing winds, and given the relatively close proximity to the airport.
The spherical object is within the column of rainfall itself, and therefore is not a fault of the camera, a trick of light, or rain on the lens, as the object is seen to have moved and receded within into the distance in the next two photos taken, and is absent altogether in the last photo.

Hypotheses
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.
