UFOs or weather balloons

I've only told of one of my experiences in a previous post (A day at the beach with a Taniwha sea monster) so I think it's time to tell another story.

Back in 1998 me and a friend were walking home from polytech when we saw two UFOs. It was about 4:30 in the after noon, it was a fine day and the sun was at our backs, we noticed a white round object in the sky in front of us, I estamated it to be about 200 to 300 meters up in the air, I think we said something like "cool a big balloon" we looked at it for about 5 minutes and then noticed another object about 500 meters behind it, the second object looked like a spinning square sheet of metal about the size of four car bonnets placed in a square, it reminded me kind of like the scene in the old superman movie when those badies are trapped in that spinning square thing at the beginning of the movie.

We watched these two objects for about 40 minutes, they were moving in one direction very slowy and against the wind. The white balloon like object seemed solid and always kept its ball shape, the metal square thing kept it's distance from the ball and was constantly spinning. We kept watching until the ball object disappeared over the surrounding hills and watched for another 10 to 15 minutes as the metal object followed and also disappeared over the hills.

Ok this sounds like a weather balloon, the round object could pass for a balloon but the metal object was bigger than the round object, they weren't very high up either and we couldn't see any type of connections between the two, the distance between them was huge, they were also traveling at the same height in the sky and against the wind.

After they disappeared from our view we continued on our way home discussing what we had just seen, we came to a conclusion that it was probably just a weather balloon but we also felt it didn't act like how we expected a weather balloon the act.

The crap thing about it was that we were studying photography at the time and we had cameras with us all the time for about 2 months, that morning was our final class and we had to hand our cameras back in, sooo close.

Any feedback or incite to this story would be very much appreciated.
