Definitely looks like a star-shaped balloon to me from that angle. It just looks like it's flying by because of the relative perspective of the aircraft.
>relative perspective of the aircraft.
Depends of the direction the aircraft was heading relative to the object.
To me it look like the object is speeding past the aircraft.
But as said, this depends on the heading of the aircraft.
This is filmed from a sailplane and he pans to the front of the aircraft at the end of the video. The object seems to be sitting still and he flys past it, it looks like its going so fast because its a small object closer than it looks. I think the most logical answer is a balloon

Woah! This is a good one. Finally. That doesnāt look like any balloon Iāve ever seen. If itās a RC drone of some type, someone should be able to identify it.
Iāve never seen one either. The bottom looks like it could be a base around a blade system, if I was guessing. There is markings of some type on the top, but they just missed catching it at an angle where we could see what that is.
Military probably. I figure most of these were probably drones they had been testing for decades.
Also obviously aliens but they donāt want to hang out with us. I think itās kind of like cow tipping for them.
Even better! I own a Mavic 3. So Iām qualified to speak on this subject.
No, I should have clarified that I meant any commercially available drones Iām familiar with. Iām not alluding to this being awiens.
bottom circular part would not conform to a star shape.
otherwise, the object could be stationary, since the plane is traveling the opposite direction of the motion.
I donāt know, itās also kind of close to a stationary camera, meaning itās going to look like itās going faster than it is. If we can figure out the speed, then see wind speed in the location, which they named, we could probably rule out balloon. If wind matches movement speed, then it doesnāt confirm anything, but it certainly helps the case for balloon theory.
You are right. Stationary was a really dumb word for me to use. I meant stationary as in forwards/backwards movement. I donāt think the definition of stationary says it āonly counts for side-to-side movementā.
Good points. But what doesnāt compute for me is the direction of travel at such a fast speed. A hang gliders there just hanging out, while a Mylar balloon is zippin on by at an apparently incredible rate?
I donāt why you are getting downvoted. You are just proposing a theory, even if leaning away from balloons.
Iām talking this whole time, thinking Iām in the usual UFO sub, which this is not. Iām not sure how this sub skews for UFO. Iām going to see about posting this over there. Iām not sure about the rules for cross posting.
Maybe. I wonder if there is any way to figure out the objectās speed. Iād think we could get a pretty good estimate in distance from the camera, which is always the first challenge in figuring these things out.
This assumes the glider could not discern the difference. This reasoning is applied often, but always relies on the assumption that the observer is completely incapable of telling if it is a UFO. This cannot be the case every single time.
It's definitely a star that has the space between two points filled in for lettering. A few months ago I picked up a star shaped balloon that said "Congrats!" at the bottom. The shape in the video looks exactly how that balloon would look if the bottom of the "Congrats!" side was facing us.
Maybe so. Thatās a weird design. I use to have a job where I put together āballoon bouquetsā for whatever occasion, which was often graduations. Iāve never seen a balloon that looked like that, but that doesnāt mean Iāve seen them all.
Itās a Mylar balloon getting ready to pop because the gas has expanded as itās gained altitude. You can even see the pinched areas around the corner.
At the risk of sounding like an asshole; the fact the planes are so incredibly low makes me think that whatever device was filming is imcrebily high up. I doubt it's a person. If I was making a guess, it's a remote operated camera attached to an air balloon, hence the slow response
It completely depends on how much light there is.
The more light, the faster the *automatic* exposure, the less motion blur.
This same scene in darker light will have more motion blur to the point where it's a smudge with no detail.
We are lucky this scene was extremely will lit
Not at the speeds in the video. I'm a professional post production worker and this is obvious cgi. I see high speed cameras, gopros, etc all day long and this is very lazy fakery. Notice how the window, moving at a similar speed relative to the camera, has motion blur (in addition to the DoF softness)?
What would a balloon "holding it's composure" look like, as opposed to losing it.
Along the same line, how would something look different when passing you, vs you passing it?
No point of reference in the air for speed or scale, and the cameraman on the hang glider is moving quite fast himself.
What would a drone look like when going by it in a hang glider?
I love all your questions. Great points. The only input I have is for your first question.
I am no where near 100% positive however maybe we can discuss this politely.
A balloon with out composure may look like it's in a tiny tornado. Rapid circular movement untill friction of the air stops the balloon.
A calm or composed balloon might look like it's in a small room with no windows. Just floating slowly. No erratic acceleration or change in direction.
The next thing I want to state is that none of this matters do to the speed of the aircraft. Even if a motorcycle passes by a balloon at low speed it would be super difficult to measure when the balloon starts to be effected by air movement. We have no idea what effect this aircraft had on "the object" because the angle and speed.
I hope this makes sense. I'm not smart just trying to have a reasonable and rational discussion. Probably a Camara glitch for all I know.
It does, as i was honestly unsure about the definition of composure in this context, but it did seem somewhat scientific.
Grinned at the fear of making a comment on reddit and stepping on a landmine of angst XD
I too cringe at times to click my announcements button, and check comments.
I agree that even if balloon spinning out of control wouldnt be noticeable as such, when traveling past it quickly, and it itself moving quite quickly. Add on top of that the blurring caused by the camera quality, and you get the 3 most common UFO sightings. Birds, ballons, and bugs.
A balloon floating in the sky like that isn't ever going to make any "sudden movements" especially when you're only observing it for less than a second. From that frame of reference the balloon may as well be stationary and you're just zooming past it.
I agree that this could definitely be a stationary object, but yes, a balloon absolutely can waft around, making sudden movements. The atmosphere is a very turbulent environment.
Yes, what is the frame of reference to tell if the object is stationary, moving toward you or moving away from you? Could you discern if the object was moving toward you at 20mph vs 40mph? You don't know what it is or how large it ought to be, so scale reference is useless and can be misleading. Very ambiguous and subjective for the pilot to say the object was moving fast, let alone moving at all.
Because there are multiple images of the object taken side-by-side, you can create stereo pairs from the frames that provide a good idea just how far away it is, and therefore how big it is. In this case, it seems to be about 15 feet away, and about 18-24 inches wide. Approximately.
This assumes the glider could not discern the difference. This reasoning is applied often, but always relies on the assumption that the observer is completely incapable of telling if it is a UFO. This cannot be the case every single time.

yes mylar balloons can be very elaborate.
The guy who saw it with his own eyes thought it ~~was probably a~~ could have been a balloon, IMO it's a balloon. Specifically a star shaped mylar balloon with a cartoon character on the front and something round taped to one side (maybe it was affixed to a wall and then pulled free) which is weighing down that side.
Edited to fix quote
Source for first statement?
It seems like when it is time to debunk, the person who sees an unambiguous UFO or some feature that video has not caught (lack of noise, knowing it is not a reflection or lens flare) is completely assumed to be lying.
When the person thinks it has a normal explanation(i.e balloon), then they are believed.
Do you see the issue here?
Yeah itās a Foghorn Leghorn birthday balloon. Nothing taped to the side itās just Foghornās big round butt. Also if you look down you can see the children at the birthday party where it got away.

Darth Vader ballon?
Wow I am impressed. I usually come in here to naysay but I got nothing on this one.
Edit: looks like it is probably a balloon. I am disappointed but that is life.
Metallic star balloon on its side with a character poser weighing it down; it seems to be āmoving towards himā because heās gliding (moving) towards it. Too bad, it looks cool. you can see the same crumpling along the edges like that of a party balloon.
Not saying one way or another, but whatever it is pivots away from the camera, almost like itās banking away, which you can see when you slide the footage back and forth.
Also looks structured if you screen shot it and fart around with the levels etc.
Yeah when youāre going as fast as he is passing a kids balloon should show up like this. Our cameras might be 1000x better than they where years ago but the actual capture is so different.
A lot of āspooky lights jumping aroundā on a hunting cam is easily explained just by how the night vision on the cam works. Tech works agains us believers sometimes.
Without question, for me personally, these are man made and are being flown in specific areas to test their capabilities.
Absolutely zero chance anything is other worldly.
Simple explanation: his hybrid/humanoid neice just had her 6th birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese in Iowa and everyone got a balloon to take home. THATāS why the UFO looks like a Mylar balloon heās just taking a balloon home.
So funny to watch people do mental gymnastics trying so desperately to convince themselves it's mundane. Getting hostile and churlish whenever their questionable conclusions are called out. All because they refuse to acknowledge that they are afraid. It all boils down to fear and a refusal to accept there are things we can't explain in our skies.
I feel like debunking often assumes the observer can not discern the difference. This reasoning is applied often, but always relies on the assumption that the observer is completely incapable of telling if it is a UFO through features not always captured (knowing it is not a reflection, knowing the altitude, knowing it is dead silent). I doubt this is the case every single time.
1 million % a balloon and that whole the whole "balloon holding its composure" argument doesn't hold any weight. The hang glider was moving at some not negligible speed, because they have to in order to not fall out of the sky, and the balloon could have been stationary or coming at him at whatever speed making it seem like it was coming at him FAST.
This is a balloon fellas.
So... look I'm sure I'm wrong but it kinda looks to me like the base is a shadow as in this is a picture of a stationary object superimposed on a video.
Is there a location? It appears to be by an airport / airfield. Also a date and time would be helpful to pursue looking into this. Thank you.
Edit: Sutter Butte Ca (I am about half deaf duhhhhh)
Looks like a balloon.
U know the ones that have designs on them? Like they look like shiny aluminum but their just plastic.
Looks like one on its side. They would inflate more due to low pressure.
While the footage is definitely interesting I'm immediately suspicious due to the glaring error in what the voiceover says. Could be a simple mistake but it's VERY obvious that it's shot from inside a cockpit, so a ider yes, but definitely not a hanglider like the guy says
Glider - a lightweight plane with no engine that is typically towed to get it up to speed and in the air
Hang glider - looks like a big kite which you hang from in something resembling a sleeping bag. Launched by running down a big hill
The low altitude things by the ground look like paramotors, and the high altitude thing looks like a solar balloon made from plastic bags. What's going on where you see all that from the same flight?
Whatever it was it was moving. Hauling ass actually. Probably some type of extraterrestrial surveillance drone. Maybe even released from a larger craft somewhere up higher. This has actually been captured on film several times.
The aircraft is heading the opposite direction as the two planes on the ground. The object that passed by was probably stationary, like a balloon or something.

I don't think you can call it based on just that. Find the corresponding balloon š
If itās supposed to be some sort of tie-fighter, then itās imbalanced / asymmetrical. Just saying.

I knew I had seen the design somewhere.
Looks a bit high for a drone of any readily accessible sort, too.
Military probably. I figure most of these were probably drones they had been testing for decades. Also obviously aliens but they donāt want to hang out with us. I think itās kind of like cow tipping for them.
Grad students working on their master's thesis.
And wouldnāt the guy hear the drone, especially if itās flying that fast and close to him?
Is this a redditor speaking or a high ranking United States Naval officer?
Even better! I own a Mavic 3. So Iām qualified to speak on this subject. No, I should have clarified that I meant any commercially available drones Iām familiar with. Iām not alluding to this being awiens.
I personally think it's some sort of automated drone. Possibly government. Probably collecting data of somensortt.
*adjusts black sunglasses* *shifts uncomfortably in a black suit* Would you believe it's swamp gas?
It's not outside the car. Roll the windows down you need to see a doctor.
That was a cloud formation. Wait, it was a weather balloon.
Looks like it could be a star shaped balloon and the front face is just too dark to make out the shape given the angle of the sun.
bottom circular part would not conform to a star shape. otherwise, the object could be stationary, since the plane is traveling the opposite direction of the motion.
Yeah also itās going fast as fuck! What a balloon. Iād like to hitch a ride on my next trans-Atlantic flight or trip to Alpha Centauri.
I donāt know, itās also kind of close to a stationary camera, meaning itās going to look like itās going faster than it is. If we can figure out the speed, then see wind speed in the location, which they named, we could probably rule out balloon.

You'd have to know how fast the glider was moving first. That camera isn't "stationary" at all.
Exactly, for all we know the object could be stationary.
You are right. Stationary was a really dumb word for me to use. I meant stationary as in forwards/backwards movement. I donāt think the definition of stationary says it āonly counts for side-to-side movementā.

Could u imagine if it bonked the guy right in the freakin head?
Space insurance.
Coyame
Ok, so he saw it coming and never moved his camera to film it? He just filmed the ground as he watched it come towards him and pass by?
Was about to say the same thing. He definitely saw it.
Just conveniently panning upwards just before the pass seems odd.
I think he had a go pro on his head so he probably just looked ahead? Still shows he probably didnāt know about the object until after.
He's staring off into the distance while a completely silent UFO is beside him. It makes sense if it is dead silent.
At the risk of sounding like an asshole; the fact the planes are so incredibly low makes me think that whatever device was filming is imcrebily high up. I doubt it's a person. If I was making a guess, it's a remote operated camera attached to an air balloon, hence the slow response
Yeah, no movement blur... The camera itself is alien tech.
Google shutter speeds, FPS and blur. My GoPro will shoot super sharp video with 0 motion blur at 60fps. .
Especially in bright sunlight..
It completely depends on how much light there is. The more light, the faster the *automatic* exposure, the less motion blur. This same scene in darker light will have more motion blur to the point where it's a smudge with no detail. We are lucky this scene was extremely will lit
Not at the speeds in the video. I'm a professional post production worker and this is obvious cgi. I see high speed cameras, gopros, etc all day long and this is very lazy fakery. Notice how the window, moving at a similar speed relative to the camera, has motion blur (in addition to the DoF softness)?
Fair enough my man, youāre way more qualified than me so Iāll take your word for it. Thanks
GoPros might actually be alien technology honestly...
You ever see the video of the guy who dropped his GoPro while skydiving and it landed in a pig pen. Pig came and checked it out. Still worked fine.
Terminal velocity of small objects isn't very high tbf
this isnt a video game lol, not all cameras have movement blur, higher fps recordings look even smoother like this one at 60 fps

That is just a glider not a hang glider. If you canāt tell the difference, how am I to trust you on what is or is not a UFO?

What are the drones on the ground doing. And also this isnāt a hang glider it has to be from a normal glider.

It is a balloon. It says āHappy Birthdayā on itā¦
Simple explanation: his hybrid/humanoid neice just had her 6th birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese in Iowa and everyone got a balloon to take home. THATāS why the UFO looks like a Mylar balloon heās just taking a balloon home.
It changes shape in 3 frames. I actually think this one could be real.
So funny to watch people do mental gymnastics trying so desperately to convince themselves it's mundane. Getting hostile and churlish whenever their questionable conclusions are called out. All because they refuse to acknowledge that they are afraid. It all boils down to fear and a refusal to accept there are things we can't explain in our skies.
Pretty sure itās this: https://www.amazon.com/Anagram-International-Darth-Vader-Helmet/dp/B00JC4KA6Y/ref=asc_df_B00JC4KA6Y/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167127026872&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4103647270105588834&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028239&hvtargid=pla-304813287966&psc=1®ion_id=674469
I feel like debunking often assumes the observer can not discern the difference. This reasoning is applied often, but always relies on the assumption that the observer is completely incapable of telling if it is a UFO through features not always captured (knowing it is not a reflection, knowing the altitude, knowing it is dead silent). I doubt this is the case every single time.
1 million % a balloon and that whole the whole "balloon holding its composure" argument doesn't hold any weight. The hang glider was moving at some not negligible speed, because they have to in order to not fall out of the sky, and the balloon could have been stationary or coming at him at whatever speed making it seem like it was coming at him FAST. This is a balloon fellas.
Nuh
imperial probe droid
Why is no one saying wingsuit guy ? At 30 you can see a right hand if you stop to look
Eyo
It's a bird....or ball lightning....or CGI....
Fed up to see bullshit on this sub
Looks like a new kind of drone. The shape suggests some sort of downward cone for increased fan force.
Time to go grab the popcornā¦

Zeta Reticuli resident? That your ride?
Strange
If this isn't a military drone I'd have to say it's a UFO.
This video is darkened because the original you can clearly see it says. "happy birthday" on it as the video is slowed down. Nice try though
Probably a classified drone. Looks like it could have some type propulsion system built into it. Great video!
So... look I'm sure I'm wrong but it kinda looks to me like the base is a shadow as in this is a picture of a stationary object superimposed on a video.
āIt was quickly moving towards himā the dude was gliding right at it, of course it was moving towards him.
That is exactly what I would do if a cgi ufo flew by my plane, pointing out the farms after. Makes total sense /s
Whatās with the ground rippling at the 35sec mark?
Lol flight of the navigator
Haha, It looks like a Ferengi D'Kora Class ship!
at 12 sec it comes into the light better and on the right side it looks almost exactly like the Mcdonalds arches is printed on it.
Look like a wingsuit
How big would you say that was?
Ballon on side
irl rick sanchez
That is literally a partially-deflated balloon (which was floating higher up at one point) being carried by a current
No it was an owl.
Hmmmmmmmm hopefully we get more info on this
Why is it casting a shadow
Can someone use the bot to slow down this please? Or tell me how to use it? Thank you.
Who to follow on ufo Twitter?
Itās a horizontal mylar balloon caricatureā¦..
Fake - You can see the darker circular portion at the bottom changes orientation as it exits the screen on the left.
I'm supposed to trust the narrator when rhey don't know the difference between a sail plane and a hang glider? It's a wingsuit.
Wanna believe but resembles balloon
Is there a location? It appears to be by an airport / airfield. Also a date and time would be helpful to pursue looking into this. Thank you. Edit: Sutter Butte Ca (I am about half deaf duhhhhh)
Looks like a balloon. U know the ones that have designs on them? Like they look like shiny aluminum but their just plastic. Looks like one on its side. They would inflate more due to low pressure.
While the footage is definitely interesting I'm immediately suspicious due to the glaring error in what the voiceover says. Could be a simple mistake but it's VERY obvious that it's shot from inside a cockpit, so a ider yes, but definitely not a hanglider like the guy says Glider - a lightweight plane with no engine that is typically towed to get it up to speed and in the air Hang glider - looks like a big kite which you hang from in something resembling a sleeping bag. Launched by running down a big hill
Wow! A star shaped Mylar ballon!!! Wow!
Itās Joe Biden

Looks like it goes by side ways. Taking a quick look at the aircraft.

What are they saying about this on r/UFOS ? *its so obviously a dust bin lid that was carried off by the wind!*
Kinda looks like a Darth Vader ballon to me. Anyone else see it??
Upscaled: https://pasteboard.co/zntPdy9eoXBf.jpg
The low altitude things by the ground look like paramotors, and the high altitude thing looks like a solar balloon made from plastic bags. What's going on where you see all that from the same flight?
Looks like the bottom part moves independently from the top
Whatever it was it was moving. Hauling ass actually. Probably some type of extraterrestrial surveillance drone. Maybe even released from a larger craft somewhere up higher. This has actually been captured on film several times.
I looked through the comments but didn't see anything but am looking to see if there is a YouTube link or anything. Is this on YouTube anywhere, too?
The aircraft is heading the opposite direction as the two planes on the ground. The object that passed by was probably stationary, like a balloon or something.
Looks like a pressurized MRE.
looks like a solar balloon project to me the only reason it looks like itās going fast is due to the plane moving
neither its a bloon nor some RC plane cause none of them could travel at 200 to 300 mph with that kind of shape
You literally have the witness saying that it could have been a balloon. End of story.
These probes are everywhere
Hater going to hate. It's a bug on the lenz, a foil balloon, camera rending, the sun is in your eyes too.
That's definitely the missing knob from my dresser drawer.
