This video has received several thousand views in the first couple of days since it was posted.
It has always received a number of commentators that believe the object in question is nothing more than a helicopter.
I was raised near Ft. Hood, Texas, and believe me, I have seen more than my share of helicopters. I have not seen one that resembles this object, but then again, this is in Australia, and the models may differ from county to county.
It is definitely a tear-drop shaped object, and it moves at a fairly slow, even speed in the sky. Even if we rule out a copter, there are many other coventional things it could be; a balloon, some type of meteorological device, etc.
The video is of high quality, and almost no changes were made. Check it out and see what you think.

Looks like a Chinook CH-47 from the back. We have a few in Brisbane and Townsville.
