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?
1st photo: Looks like B52
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.
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.

Definitely an Airbus A380....
But do A380's have 4 jet engines ?

Yes they do. I agree it's an A-380
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.)
