Seen passing through the sky while eating lunch. Too big to be a balloon in our opinion. It appears to be rotating or fluttering

I think it's one of those metalized plastic helium balloons. One with a tail, floating away on the wind. The sun reflecting off it makes it seem larger than it is. And being in de sky makes it hard to get a perspective on the size. It's probably closer than you'd think.
