"UFOs" or the Attack of the Weather Balloons

I saw this impressive daytime "UFO" display this afternoon. The two bright spots in the sky were quite noticable.

I was doing some astrofest equipment tests so I had a camera and a scope with me. Through the 8x50 finder, I see I could see that a "UFO" had a tail trailing below it.

If anyone has lost there weather balloons, they were heading south over Ipswich at 3:30pm

Would not be suprised to see some real ufo reports tommorrow.

The image was taken with a canon 550D at 55mm and manually focused.
The image was resize to 800 x 533. Below the marks is the full resolution showing the dots.
