Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Gold coloured, possible metallic appearance with pattern in darker colour (like a brown/plum colour in my photo). The sun appears to be reflecting off the top.

Size of Object(s)

I do not know the size as didn't see the object at the time of walking up the road so if it could possibly be some kind of of UFO then it must have been invisible to the naked eye - at a rough guess from looking at the photo it can't be no bigger than 3 feet in diameter...but this is rough guess.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It appears to be about 5 - 6 metres off the ground and was only about 30 - 40 feet away?

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban area, small cobbled stoned street fairly steep slope with not many shops or restaurants around as it was in quiet area. No cars or trams on this street, only people. It was a little street down below from the castle which is on a large hill (we we walking up to the castle).

Full Description & Details

When I got our holiday photos developed I noticed this one had a strange gold coloured sphere shape which appears to be floating in mid-air in front of a white building further up the top of the road and there appears to be a smaller version near ground level in front of some people walking (although hard to tell for sure as a bit blured). At the time I thought it may have been part of the facade of the white building (like a decorative shield) but then I had some photos of Prague taken back in July 2002 so I checked these and I had a picture of the same street and there is nothing on the white building. I don't recall there being any christmas decorations hanging around at the time (in fact the side street we were in was rather plain and quiet). At the time the photo was taken it was broad day light with blue skies and sun with no rain or snow. The only possibly explanation I can come up with was some kind of balloon was either hanging in the middle of the road on invisible ropes or was floating around after someone let it go. If you look closely, there is some kind of pattern on the object but hard to tell if an actual pattern or writing but it's coloured darker and has curves to it.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Only possibility I can think of is a balloon

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am very open minded about them and know a little bit. When I was young (around 10 - 11 years old) I saw something in the sky which to this day I can't explain - it was a large dark black object shaped like a rectangle or box and was hoovering above the roofs of the local houses to where I lived in London, UK. It was not a plane because it seemed to be floating in mid air and I remember looking up at it for a while - can't remember if it moved but then it disappeared at some point out of view.
