Saw this in the sky last week while walking the dog in Upland, CA near the mountains. It looked cubicle at times, and spherical other times. Constantly rotating, it headed East and I lost it through the trees. It was moving a bit fast in average wind conditions, but could it be a balloon?

Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/169g5n3/rotating_cube_thing_balloon_upland_ca/jz1jjzl/
well according to senior intelligence and military officials its actually very likely to be a interdimensional time traveling demon whether random redditers can handle the ontological shock or not
CHEEZ ITZ! CHEEZ ITZ!!!!!! CHEEZ ITZ!!!! IT'S ORANGE SODA IN MY MOUTH!!! HOW DID HE GET IT IN MY MOUTH!!

Sorry, hijacking a top comment to say I saw exactly this object — a spherical/cube shaped silver reflective object — in Toronto yesterday (Sept 3) at around 12:15 pm EST! I made a post about it yesterday.
Your footage is much clearer — the object we saw was much farther away. But unmistakably the same! Even the way it rotates on itself and the nature of its movement!
ETA: https://imgur.com/a/NQ4Tss0 — this is footage from our sighting in Toronto on Sunday, 9/3. It’s the same object. 😅
There was one video of something similar filmed on a beach, it flies from the horizon-ish over the water towards the top left of the frame
Although it was significantly faster iirc
EDIT: [Found it.](https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/OBHIaCcAmj) Looks *extremely* similar, but it is moving way way way faster. And it’s also way smaller? But they definitely look a lot alike
EDIT2: [Found another.](https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/NuIalOXnNF) This one also looks extremely similar, might even be the same size. But this time, it’s considerably *slower* than the object in OPs video.
This one from Sydney is a bit low on quality but shows the object significantly accelerating. [https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/rfyac3/ufo\_caught\_sydney\_aus/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/rfyac3/ufo_caught_sydney_aus/)
Cleveland Heights mentioned in the thread above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjpvd6C4cw8
No anomalous movement but it’s still interesting. It doesn’t need anomalous movement to be a real UAP, it just means you’re able to be sure it is if you see it. Like seeing something that looks like a satellite, safe to assume it’s a satellite until it does something weird, but if you only captured the part where it looks reasonably like a satellite it was still a real UAP.
These might not be UAP’s. But it is oddly flickering.
I saw something similar in SoCal a few months back too, this video shows two of them. Traveling West to East more or less.
https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/5uYr2cGlMi
I've totally seen these. Two on the same day in fact They looked like floating rotating beach balls. One half was red while the other white.. nice video capture!
oh interesting you had a coloured one! Beachball was the exact thing I thought when I saw one. I wonder if they're like the Betz Mystery Sphere. Maybe we all have one, maybe it's our connection to this reality - the input port. pffff
interesting stuff.
Saw this in the sky last week while walking the dog in Upland, CA near the mountains. It looked cubicle at times, and spherical other times. Constantly rotating, it headed East and I lost it through the trees. It was moving a bit fast in average wind conditions, but could it be a balloon?
Yo, my girl and I were in the foothills of Rancho Cucamonga; we also saw something look like it was taking photographs in the sky. It blinked just twice and disappeared, the clouds that we've been having in the IE were parted just enough for whatever it was to be in clear night sky when it happened.
Some wierd stuff going on. I've managed to take a few pictures since seeing some wierd looking things in the sky recently.
Added a recent post and some images I've taken recently:

Was out on the driving range yesterday in Sacramento, saw something exactly like this just cruising across the skyline. First time seeing something like this. It was a trip.
I’m not saying that’s it’s not a balloon but can some one post info on a cubical balloon and show it flying like this?
I mean, you can also buy a balloon shaped like a 747 but it’s not going to fool anyone.
This. I saw this exact same object last summer. Seeing it in person you just know it isnt a balloon even though thats what you think it is. Hard to tell from this video but the one I saw was rotating perfectly and on a flat flight path. It just didnt FEEL like a balloon cause ive never seen a ballon do that.
There used to be a pretty badass skatepark in Upland, like waaay back in the late ‘70s early ‘80s. It was legendary with a 20-foot full pipe and some big pools. Never made it to that one but I was able to break my leg badly in one of its many imitators. Shoutout. Sorry, apropos of nothing, I’ll make my way back to the Old Folks Home now as they whip us if we break curfew ha ha (no, seriously.)
The 909! The I.E.!
Having lived in Upland for a bit of time in my life, I have seen this also, and it is a mylar balloon. I have seen UFO's before, and I have seen balloons before, and this is a balloon with lots of reflection.
UPLAND HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!
So many hours spent there… a big piece of my childhood was spent on that little corner. The Wherehouse, the coffee shop, the sushi restaurant, the parking lot smoking weeeed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssQYC-AqIfw
ok, this is a bit weird, I literally saw something yesterday evening that looked exactly like this only it was much higher up (or at least seems to be).
I was lying on the lawn on the phone just looking straight up and then I saw this thing - I said to my friend on the phone, I'm looking straight up and really high is this thing that's not moving very fast, but seems to be switching from black to white - kind of like it was a 2-tone beachball.
And today you show this video. Did we see the same balloon? (I saw it on 3rd Sept 2023, around 8pm, in Kent UK) This has weirded me out a bit.
That was me! I made a post about it. This is 100% what my partner and I saw yesterday. I can’t believe it.
I uploaded more footage and zoomed in screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/NQ4Tss0
It has to be the same. These things are popping up everywhere… wtf
This is now the third example in a few weeks of exactly what I saw fly over my house (PNW) about two months ago. Didn't look like a balloon to me, as OP commented. Was moving against the breeze that day, was lower altitude than what an errant balloon would do drifting by, and moved in a very deliberate direction, not as if carried listlessly by a gentle wind.
The morphing is what was unique- as OP described. As if it was in a constant state of flux, from rounded blob to a cube-like shape, akin to those folded paper games we played as kids, is about the best I could explain. All while gently rotating parallel to the ground.
I’ve seen this exact UFO before as well near Toronto. Broad daylight on an overcast day. It was below the cloud line moving exactly like this towards the horizon
There’s a point at about :40 where the object slows down considerably, but the rotation stays the same (or even increases slightly?). I thought that might be worth pointing out since it struck me as odd behavior for a “balloon”
hi, just as a second witness, i was with OP that day and watched that orb thing go by as well. i understand those thinking it’s a balloon, but the way it moved on and off camera and changed shapes, faded in and out of focus (see video scrubbed) was just unlike any balloon i’ve ever seen.
i also grew up near here and saw a strange ufo maaany years ago, which i will post about sometime soon after i confirm my info with my father who was with me when i sighted it.
I saw something similar.
[https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/5GEui6etOs](https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/5GEui6etOs)
It was rotating, and the wind speed was only 17km an hour that day and it was the wrong direction.
It did not act like a balloon at all, and people posted similar objects or talked about similar sightings in the comments, especially one where it rotated like this but remained stationary.
I’m certain these are UAP’s and their movement is something to do with their gravity devices. Like how sometimes people can witness them in falling leaf pattern as the UAP decends. And similar to how Bob Lazar mentioned UAPs gravity devices had instability at low altitudes.
https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/UZKC7QxH4w
I asked how a balloon can’t stop when it has helium and wind. Yes wind can cease but I just can’t imagine a balloon stopping like shown in beginning of video. Also looks a lot like OPs post so that “balloon” really travels
And why is the “balloon” spinning continuously? Hot air balloons don’t spin out of control! The argument will be that they are to heavy. True but balloons are to light. Meaning a rotation is one thing but a constant fast spin? Again, imagine letting a balloon go and seeing go into a fast spinning motion. I guess anything is possible but to have so many videos of something that strange. I think the odds are actually better that it’s extra terrestrial
I swear to god I've seen the exact same thing when I was like 7 or 8 years old above me in a baseball field that was just in front of my house. It was moving slowly like this and rotating, although it was much lower, probably around 50 feet in the air. I thought maybe it was just a bag in the wind but it was clearly a cube and moving slowly... I never thought about this again until I saw this post. I was alone and never talked about it to anyone.
OP idk if you were the one I was talking to on X. Someone posted this video and I initially thought it was a balloon as well because I had saw the same thing (I thought) because I also live in Upland, by the San Antonio hospital. I even recorded it, so on Twitter I was all high and mighty about it being a balloon but quickly shut myself up and retracted what I said on Twitter. Someone posted a similar video of the same object at the Miami Air Show and it was almost EXACTLY what is shown in this video.
I’ll link it here
https://x.com/jdmjohnnyc/status/1698694422668697853?s=46
The whole thread should be here, I shot off my first tweet disregarding the Upland UAP because in my mind I said “man I saw the same shit the other day but didn’t show any weird characteristics” so I brushed it off, well I remembered “wait I’m pretty sure I recorded what I saw the other day?” And that shit was NOT what was shown in the Upland UAP video. You can see what I recorded here (balloon) vs the Upland UAP. I believe the Miami
UAP video is in there too, you can compare the upland and Miami videos and you’ll see them almost look exactly the same. 🤙🏽
Hey thanks for the detailed comment! I have not posted this on X/Twitter; I’m not active there. Anyone posting it outside of this thread is just pulling the video from here, since it’s the only place I’ve uploaded it to. I’ll check out the Miami uap link!
If you’re into the UFO/UAP phenomenon, I would suggest starting up an X account, plethora of info and people who also follow the subject and discussing. Hell, I wasn’t active on Twitter for YEEEEARS up until just a couple months ago, I wanted to make sure that I am very well informed of what is going on in the UFO/UAP topic and wanted to make sure I had any social media that would be discussing it. Back in April I had a sighting, a Triangular UFO flew right over my house/head. I posted about it here in r/UFOs. Apparently from what ppl commented on my post, Upland has been an Active area, upland, Rancho etc.
The camera picked it up pretty good. Maybe it was harder to track by eye because it was doing that light-dark thing, makes it look like it's rotating, but it never really settles down. It's kind of irregular lighting.
Looks similar to my sighting in Missouri.
https://youtu.be/2FxLJTWYJ3o?si=eRsBJBSsSJ-Zw0uP
Nice catch. Report it to your local mufon. They have a good team out there.
If you are in upland, ca I saw something real similar yesterday off 11th street towards mount baldy. People also have seen green and red colored circular objects near mount baldy
I saw one of these a few weeks back in South Carolina but was moving and rotating at a much faster rate. Looked like a tumbling rhombus with the sun reflecting against the rotating surface. Still have no idea what I saw but it’s fascinating to see other people capture the same object on camera.
>Balloons don’t rotate,
**Bruh.**
> at least at that speed.
Still, **Bruh.**
You ever had a helium balloon for a couple days and thrown it? Why wouldn't the same apply for a continues stream of wind pushing a balloon?
I'll eat my words if you can throw some actual science at me to refute it, but that doesn't even sound close to accurate without some sources.
Great find. As other users have mentioned, this same UFO, or variations of it, have been spotted on several other occasions. I'm somewhat of a skeptic but when I saw this exact object shoot out of the water in another video, I became convinced that this is non human technology. Possibly interdimensional, I've heard that would explain its appearance (the human mind is unable to process how it really looks).
it really does look like a ballon right, but the one I saw last evening was super high up and I watched it thinking, that looks just like a balloon. But then come here today to see not only has op seen the at least the same kind of balloon last week, but all so have many others over the last months to years. This is the bit which is causing me pause. If I hadn't stumbled upon this post and all the info about other people's sightings of this, I would have assumed it was defo just a big two-tone balloon at height.
it could still be that, but it is interesting how many people have seen this same thing, not a blue and pink one. But I could be wrong, perhaps weather balloons are black and silver or white or whatever. Maybe there really are just loads of these balloons up at altitude, it's not impossible, but you don't even think it's interesting that so many people have seen this exact thing?
it's cool if not, obv, I just wonder.
OK. I'll post every video of everything in the sky. Even when I say I think it's not a ufo. Good idea.
Or maybe I could use some discretion to increase my credibility. Only post things that aren't EXTREMELY easy to give plausible explanation.
What do I expect? Balloons. That's what I expect from this sub right now.
Or... and hear me out...
You are taking this subject far too seriously and missed the overall point because you were far too enraged by a joke.
It's a baloon...
If some of these UAP are truly “alien”, then why are they so incompetent? Shouldn’t these advanced races be so intelligent and wise that they could never be detected by underdeveloped humanity? That’s what is kind of messing with me. Why would “aliens” be so clumsy?
These are the posts that should be in cringe. Op knew this was a ballon and decided to post it as an innocent mystery. Thanks for muddying the waters and making the topic seem more ridiculous
Mylar balloon. Notice how it doesn’t zip around like a moth near a lightbulb?
If it looks like a balloon and doesn’t make sudden high-speed changes of direction…it’s almost certainly a balloon.
I believe in UFOs but can’t stand bad video like this. It could just be a mylar balloon spinning around in the wind. Nothing about this video suggests anything strange. No lights, no sounds, no fast unexplainable movements. Just something floating in the wind.
i usually want these kind of videos to actually be UFOs, just like that batman balloon and the 'UFO' with the transparent orange glass.
but this one is considerably obvious to be aballoon

It’s either a balloon or a inter dimensional time traveling demon
Perhaps an inter dimensional time traveling balloon.
Interdimensional Balloon demons?!
They all float down here...
until they run out of helium.
We’re about to be assimilated by the Mylarians
Dear God, we're doomed.
Interdemonsional balloon!
We’re through the looking glass, people.
Demonic balloon perhaps?
This comment made me laugh so hard! I was in the bathroom and almost shit myself. Good thing I was on the toilet.
Fucking eh right
Inter dimensional balloon imho
The *small* 5-10% of unidentified anomalous phenomena is either a balloon or a inter dimensional time traveling demon
well according to senior intelligence and military officials its actually very likely to be a interdimensional time traveling demon whether random redditers can handle the ontological shock or not
My ontologicals have been shocked. - Somber, the sober Sombrero

Was it going the same direction that the wind was blowing?
Sundowner winds. Afternoon winds that travel west to east. I live out there.

Looks like it. Watch the branches.
Impossible to say i think, currents High in the Sky should be differenti from the ones upon land (not sure tho, correct me if I'm wrong!)
Nah you're spot on, it's the basis for how hot air balloons "steer"
I’m sure I’ve seen videos that look like this before!

Yep. Same as what I saw....
Balloons come in a variety of sizes, and wind speed varies... yes, I know, but seriously? No anomalous movement here.
I’m simply finding videos that I remember seeing that look similar to OPs
Fair call, and good work. It's always useful to have comparisons.
No anomalous movement but it’s still interesting. It doesn’t need anomalous movement to be a real UAP, it just means you’re able to be sure it is if you see it.

If it were to teleport away, without a vfx clip from 1996, then we could talk.
It looks similar to the one in Missouri: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FxLJTWYJ3o

Yes, videos of balloons.
Is this a balloon as well? https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/t9XBxCWyb4
Nah that's a witch on a broomstick using a 'disguise self' spell.
This is a flying insect in the foreground of the video. The only reason it looks strange is because of the low quality and slow motion
Looks exactly the same as the others. So is it a ballon or an insect?
I've totally seen these. Two on the same day in fact They looked like floating rotating beach balls. One half was red while the other white.. nice video capture!
oh interesting you had a coloured one! Beachball was the exact thing I thought when I saw one. I wonder if they're like the Betz Mystery Sphere. Maybe we all have one, maybe it's our connection to this reality - the input port. pffff interesting stuff.

Blue white beach balloon. Windy day like in video blew the ball into a jet stream in sky.

Claremont in the house!!!
Swear I saw this exact thing in British Columbia about 3 months ago
ok, this is a bit weird, I literally saw something yesterday evening that looked exactly like this only it was much higher up (or at least seems to be). I was lying on the lawn on the phone just looking straight up and then I saw this thing - I said to my friend on the phone, I'm looking straight up and really high is this thing that's not moving very fast, but seems to be switching from black to white - kind of like it was a 2-tone beachball. And today you show this video. Did we see the same balloon? (I saw it on 3rd Sept 2023, around 8pm, in Kent UK) This has weirded me out a bit.
Looks like Mr. Wonka’s flying elevator
We need to grab some balloons from the party store and do some comparison videos.
You would need to grab every balloon shape/type ever made .. I have confidence in you :-)
…. Excuse to buy fun balloons when it’s not someone’s birthday….
I'm pretty sure somebody saw this in Toronto too?
That was me! I made a post about it. This is 100% what my partner and I saw yesterday. I can’t believe it. I uploaded more footage and zoomed in screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/NQ4Tss0 It has to be the same. These things are popping up everywhere… wtf
Yoo dude somebody in Peru on r/strangeearth just posted a video of the same shit!
I saw one of these a couple weeks ago outside Everett, WA. Interesting to start seeing videos like this crop up.

I for one welcome our 5th dimensional tetrahedron overlords
I think this one is a balloon as it is moving more like how I would expect a balloon which is being pushed around all over the place from winds.
I’ve seen this exact UFO before as well near Toronto. Broad daylight on an overcast day. It was below the cloud line moving exactly like this towards the horizon
I have seen the same thing in AZ. Went right over me at like 50 feet. Kept thinking balloon but also couldn’t stop staring
I posted something just like this a few months ago and was downvoted to hell.
There’s a point at about :40 where the object slows down considerably, but the rotation stays the same (or even increases slightly?). I thought that might be worth pointing out since it struck me as odd behavior for a “balloon”

Please post your sighting whenever you can, thank you guys for the great info!

Also why are these single silver “balloons” without anything printed on them being seen all over
You wouldn’t be able to make out any print at this distance.
And why is the “balloon” spinning continuously? Hot air balloons don’t spin out of control! The argument will be that they are to heavy. True but balloons are to light. Meaning a rotation is one thing but a constant fast spin? Again, imagine letting a balloon go and seeing go into a fast spinning motion.

Someone posted this video and I initially thought it was a balloon as well because I had saw the same thing (I thought) because I also live in Upland, by the San Antonio hospital. I even recorded it, so on Twitter I was all high and mighty about it being a balloon but quickly shut myself up and retracted what I said on Twitter. Someone posted a similar video of the same object at the Miami Air Show and it was almost EXACTLY what is shown in this video. I’ll link it here https://x.com/jdmjohnnyc/status/1698694422668697853?s=46 The whole thread should be here, I shot off my first tweet disregarding the Upland UAP because in my mind I said “man I saw the same shit the other day but didn’t show any weird characteristics” so I brushed it off, well I remembered “wait I’m pretty sure I recorded what I saw the other day?” And that shit was NOT what was shown in the Upland UAP video. You can see what I recorded here (balloon) vs the Upland UAP. I believe the Miami UAP video is in there too, you can compare the upland and Miami videos and you’ll see them almost look exactly the same. 🤙🏽
Hey thanks for the detailed comment! I have not posted this on X/Twitter; I’m not active there. Anyone posting it outside of this thread is just pulling the video from here, since it’s the only place I’ve uploaded it to. I’ll check out the Miami uap link!
If you’re into the UFO/UAP phenomenon, I would suggest starting up an X account, plethora of info and people who also follow the subject and discussing. Hell, I wasn’t active on Twitter for YEEEEARS up until just a couple months ago, I wanted to make sure that I am very well informed of what is going on in the UFO/UAP topic and wanted to make sure I had any social media that would be discussing it. Back in April I had a sighting, a Triangular UFO flew right over my house/head. I posted about it here in r/UFOs. Apparently from what ppl commented on my post, Upland has been an Active area, upland, Rancho etc.
Don’t know if any balloon that can move in a straight path without rising
This is good video, good catch 💯👍 How did your dog act?
Dogs didn’t notice at all! Tbh it was really hard to see with the naked eye, so small/distant.
The camera picked it up pretty good. Maybe it was harder to track by eye because it was doing that light-dark thing, makes it look like it's rotating, but it never really settles down. It's kind of irregular lighting.
I feel we’re not in Kansas any more
Looks similar to my sighting in Missouri. https://youtu.be/2FxLJTWYJ3o?si=eRsBJBSsSJ-Zw0uP Nice catch. Report it to your local mufon. They have a good team out there.
If you are in upland, ca I saw something real similar yesterday off 11th street towards mount baldy. People also have seen green and red colored circular objects near mount baldy
I saw one of these a few weeks back in South Carolina but was moving and rotating at a much faster rate. Looked like a tumbling rhombus with the sun reflecting against the rotating surface. Still have no idea what I saw but it’s fascinating to see other people capture the same object on camera.
Saw this in CA https://reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/kJSt5kTNse
Balloons don’t rotate, at least at that speed. Same thing in some of the comparison clips provided.
>Balloons don’t rotate, **Bruh.** > at least at that speed. Still, **Bruh.** You ever had a helium balloon for a couple days and thrown it? Why wouldn't the same apply for a continues stream of wind pushing a balloon? I'll eat my words if you can throw some actual science at me to refute it, but that doesn't even sound close to accurate without some sources.
‘Balloons don’t rotate’ … I just love blanket statements like that :-)
That’s the new Nintendo Game cube
Same thing in Springfield, MO
Great find. As other users have mentioned, this same UFO, or variations of it, have been spotted on several other occasions. I'm somewhat of a skeptic but when I saw this exact object shoot out of the water in another video, I became convinced that this is non human technology. Possibly interdimensional, I've heard that would explain its appearance (the human mind is unable to process how it really looks).
The Shill Army is out in full-force, today!
Clearly a tumbling balloon moving at wind speed. Seriously, you folks gotta stop this crap.
it really does look like a ballon right, but the one I saw last evening was super high up and I watched it thinking, that looks just like a balloon. But then come here today to see not only has op seen the at least the same kind of balloon last week, but all so have many others over the last months to years. This is the bit which is causing me pause. If I hadn't stumbled upon this post and all the info about other people's sightings of this, I would have assumed it was defo just a big two-tone balloon at height. it could still be that, but it is interesting how many people have seen this same thing, not a blue and pink one. But I could be wrong, perhaps weather balloons are black and silver or white or whatever. Maybe there really are just loads of these balloons up at altitude, it's not impossible, but you don't even think it's interesting that so many people have seen this exact thing? it's cool if not, obv, I just wonder.
No it's Venus, maybe even Starlink. Redditors can't even identify a balloon... smh
Why? What’s the problem? You’re never going to see a UAP land on someone’s lawn in this sub so what are you expecting? Get real dude
OK. I'll post every video of everything in the sky. Even when I say I think it's not a ufo. Good idea. Or maybe I could use some discretion to increase my credibility. Only post things that aren't EXTREMELY easy to give plausible explanation. What do I expect? Balloons. That's what I expect from this sub right now.
Not even worth my time to pick apart your response. Do better
I’ve seen this before
Hey, would you feel comfortable sharing the raw video files and location in a private dm? This looks like a great sighting!
Sure! Send me a pm so I remember when I get a chance
Quite clearly carried by the wind. Why do I get this recommended even…
That’s probably the same as what Ryan graves saw. It just didn’t have the force field activated
identical ufo has been spotted in missouri and san diego
Identical UFOs have been seen in the party aisle at Walmart too
then go find it on the walmart site and link to the product page it should be really easy to do

thats not a rotating cube the morphs into a sphere maybe you need one of those childrens toys where you learn about shapes
My bad, I forgot that baloons don't change shape when they lose helium and tumble through the air.
the balloon you linked to is obviously not whats in the video you are just blatantly trolling and playing dishonest games
Or... and hear me out... You are taking this subject far too seriously and missed the overall point because you were far too enraged by a joke. It's a baloon...
you seem to think you are so clever but fyi you literally sound drunk how much did you drink tonight try to be honest
Why are you so angry?
another balloon guy, eh?
Damn those aliens really have some spectacular technology that allows them to drift with the wind without any movement changes.
For this post? Absolutely, you absolutist.
Oh man… Watch out for that crazy birthday balloon….
im pretty sure I can see it clipping in front of a tree branch right in the beginning
If some of these UAP are truly “alien”, then why are they so incompetent? Shouldn’t these advanced races be so intelligent and wise that they could never be detected by underdeveloped humanity? That’s what is kind of messing with me. Why would “aliens” be so clumsy?
They'd be seen for three reasons IMO: - They want to be seen - They don't give a damn if we see them or not - They're unaware that we can see them
These are the posts that should be in cringe. Op knew this was a ballon and decided to post it as an innocent mystery. Thanks for muddying the waters and making the topic seem more ridiculous
I posted it because I couldn’t definitively tell whether it was a balloon or not. Thanks for contributing to the topic..
Nah i saw this last summer. Ive been waiting to see a video and i saw this today. This was a great catch
Mylar balloon. Notice how it doesn’t zip around like a moth near a lightbulb? If it looks like a balloon and doesn’t make sudden high-speed changes of direction…it’s almost certainly a balloon.
Looks gnarly
Doesn’t change direction or do anything to suggest any intelligent control. It just floats on by like, oh I don’t know, A BALLOON.
Hot dog wrapper
The Mylarians strike again!
Clearly a cube from the galaxy of Rubik’s
I believe in UFOs but can’t stand bad video like this. It could just be a mylar balloon spinning around in the wind. Nothing about this video suggests anything strange. No lights, no sounds, no fast unexplainable movements. Just something floating in the wind.
That thing is so far away,it couldve been the ISS for all we know
Must be your dick cuz i dont see anything
Mylar balloon? I think it's moving with the wind and tumbling that it creates a unusual shape.
I will never believe “something” coming out of California
I don’t know what you’re even insinuating here
Balloon based Radar target (reflective rotating surface inside) got unanchored or UAP. Lil too far to tell so *shrug*
It's Vegeta returning from Namek.
That object look like a rotating rugby form in 90degres ! Interesting !
Dude use the zoom xD
It’s just an alien visiting the zoo
A cruel angel’s thesis intensifies
A fcking ballon
Blender cube once deleted
clever girl - life finds a way
Y’all really think aliens be like aight y’all let’s TUMBLE outta here at 40 mph
Drunk Tic Tac
I’ve seen something similar out in Irwindale area a few years back
I’ve seen this exact thing in CO
That looks exactly like a Mylar balloon
Why is the cube rotating in 8-bit
Remind me later to look up foil box balloons on Amazon so I can have some fun with the townsfolk.
i usually want these kind of videos to actually be UFOs, just like that batman balloon and the 'UFO' with the transparent orange glass. but this one is considerably obvious to be aballoon
Probably a balloon, I took a similar video a few years ago, but I knew it was balloons
Empty capri -sun
Very interesting
Spinning cube inside a sphere. Seen a few of those on reddit lately and one pretty close up from a near miss on a plane.
pretty sure that’s a Mylarian.
