Just shooting aircraft from the roof of our co-op building in New York City for my new series "Traffic Along the Hudson" (NYC) and shot these two among others.
The jet has 4 engines, not many of these today, blue colors might suggest AirForceOne. Has anyone an idea what AF1 would look like from underneath?
2nd item might be a weather balloon ! ideas?

It's not a b-52, and I think AF-1 has little canards on the wingtips. It could be from a Russian or European manufacturer.

I have no idea what the object in the second photo is. UFO.

Image 1: I'm not an expert but the shape of the wings and landing gear bulge look more like an A380 than a 747 to me. And photos of AF1 show a silver "bib" on the underside of the fuselage just in front of the wings. You can see it here: http://www.elpasoinc.com/news/ap_wire/us/trump-says-north-korea-meeting-is-back-on/article_4d94644a-6769-11e8-8820-df4530b69843.html

As for image 2, I think it's an errant Lunar Excursion Module.

I believe #1 is an Airbus A380. Air Force 1 is a Boeing 747. #2 looks like it might be a helium balloon, sort of looks like a star shape. Just guessing here.

Yes it does look like the A380. The A380 has 4 engines as it's very big.
This is a link to the A380 picture.

I think it looks like a USAF C-17 Globemaster Cargo and airlift craft.

Definitely not AF1 - probably an A380 of KLM carrier by the little bit of tail wing insignia that can be seen. Would have been nice to have Download for 2nd shot to see if that is Musk's Tesla car returning from space.

Other than being a large 4 engine jet it looks nothing like a C-17.
Wrong wing tips and shape
Wrong tail configuration
Wrong fuselage profile
Wrong colors (Air Force is fond of gray.)
