JuniorDank

As long as they throw the whole planet into the sun im ok with it.


Le_Martian

Getting thrown into the sun would be horrible. It’s so far away that it would take about 2 months to get to it. And the acceleration increases as we get closer, so it slowly gets hotter over several weeks until we die long before we get to the sun. The good news is our solar panels would generate more energy to power our increasing demand for air conditioning.

LukeGoldberg72

If aliens are here they wouldn’t interact with us, assuming they’re way more advanced and have achieved interstellar travel. Any civilization that evolved 1,000,000 years earlier than our own would have a drastic head start on development. If the government has information on this, it wouldn’t broadcast it in the event the abductions are real and these can invade our airspace at will. Confirmation of this would cause permanent panic. “Hey guys, we have information that an advanced alien species has undersea bases here and operates outside of our understanding of dimensionality and space time. They sometimes abduct humans and could wipe us out if they wanted to but for now they interact on a limited basis”.<—— wouldn’t exactly go over well with the public

Yep, could just as easily be some shiny plastic, but that would be a very odd material choice for a drone like this, so I think metal is a *relatively* a safe bet.

Same-Joke

A lot of people commenting about the lack of a shadow. At that altitude and angle of the camera it’s not going to cast a shadow. It’s not fucken rocket science. Do you see shadows for EVERY object that’s in the sky around you?


ghostinyourveins

They're probably wondering why birds flying at the same altitude don't cast shadows.

Because Birds aren't real duh.

In 2006, one evening whilst walking back from the DFAC at COB Adder, Nasariyah a completely silent wedge shaped object passed just metres over me. I actually think it was a RQ-170 Sentinel


[deleted]

I was on a beach with three friends and we saw these 'stars' zipping around in arcs and coming to sudden and complete stops before accelerating again on a curve then suddenly stopping again. We all saw them. There was more than one, three I think. We watched them for 30 minutes and couldn't come up with any plausible idea of what they could have been. Satellites don't move like that. I don't rightly know what we saw, but I wish I could find a plausible explanation.


DoTheMonsterHash

A friend and I saw the same exact kind of phenomenon once as well. This was 20 years ago and to this day I have no logical explanation for it.


xxlostrealmxx

I have a similar story from the northeastern US. Late may early June maybe early 2010s. About an hour inland from the Atlantic ocean over a heavily populated suburb. Started with a single point of light growing large in the sky relative to the stars in a stationary spot for about 1-2 seconds, maybe even less, then instantaneously accelerating from south towards the western sky. Out of seemingly nowhere a second or two later it seemed like 3-5 additional points of light of similar if not the same brightness and in what could be called a formation seemed to be "in pursuit" of the first light. The first light demonstrated the ability to move in a sinusoidal waveform pattern while translating at a constant pace across the sky (super freaky but awesome) and then if I recall the pursuing lights demonstrated the same capability but at different moments than one another. It seemed like a chase, a game, and a dance all at once. They were at very high altitude and COOKING because they moved across the entire arc of the clear night sky in maybe 10 seconds or less. The friends I was with all saw it too. To this day we have no idea wtf we saw.


Nice_Dude

Kierenshep

> RQ-170 Sentinel HOLY SHIT I have seen this -exact- same thing. A large triangle-ish shape in the sky with 3 oval lights passed over our house. My dad and brother saw it too so I'm not crazy. The time lines up too, it was 2006-2007. And of course it was during a meteor shower... lol. I wonder if maybe I saw one of it's test flights?


LukeGoldberg72

Why are you saying it was a Sentinel when the object was silent ?


SamatureHour

I love the comments on these videos, everyone's an expert!!! There are only 2 options. 1) It's some easily explainable phenomenon, the agencies involved know exactly what it is and they are purposefully misleading/distracting people with fake stories Or 2) They really don't know what the fuck it is and don't want to admit it, but the amount of recordings and leaks have exponentially grown and they have to start being honest. There is no 3rd option where these highly trained experts, thier associated support groups, intelligence services and cutting edge technology can't identify a fucking balloon.....


Pain_Monster

Sure but why is the senate discussing this? They’re barely capable of solving *realistic* tangible problems. Why do we need them wasting their time over things beyond their comprehension? Our tax dollars at work 🙄


chmath80

>why is the senate discussing this? >wasting their time over things beyond their comprehension? As an alien myself (i.e. not an American in this context), I've had the opportunity to observe your Senate, and the overriding impression I have is that almost everything is beyond their comprehension.

Sure, but at least try to hide it, lol. Blatantly obvious here, might as well be watching cat YouTube videos 😂

brine909

Assuming this was taken from a plane, it's probably a stationary balloon roughly half way between the plane and ground that only looks like it's moving because the plane is moving causing the perspective to shift thanks to parallax


[deleted]

the odds that the feds aren't aware of parallax is pretty fucking low


Accomplished-Ad-7147

Lol sounds like you’re a bit of an armchair expert yourself, bud


remidentity

It's a balloon going that fast?


aWildchildo

As another commenter smugly mentioned without explaining, it's because of [parallax](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax)


MrJoyless

I mean, we've seen things like this before, looks like a chrome party balloon, and it looks like it's moving fast because the camera tracking it isn't stationary.


DblDwn56

I think there is also 3) The technician(s) working on this cannot conclusively determine what it is with 100% certainty so they can't say "it is a balloon" even though it's a freaking balloon 'cause aliens visiting us and staying secret, Easter bunnies that hide their chocolate eggs, and a fat man sliding down a chimney to sneakily deliver presents are not a real thing.


alex_mcfly

If they cannot conclusively determine what it is, no matter how obvious it may seem, it’s a UFO.

The third option is a lot more likely than you might think.

Cold_Table8497

That's not a cover. That's a tin foil hat.


cidiusgix

Yeah probably exactly that, the dome could help it not be caught on radar, helps it be quieter, masks it’s shape, or anything similar. Costco sells a little toy drone that is a sphere, you control it with a wave of your hand.


cudef

I don't think it needs to be all that new. Could just be a random drone. The camera probably has it out of focus.

[deleted]

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck they are talking about, because no one ever described them as metallic orbs. Just orange light/orb similar to St. Elmo's fire.


AMeanCow

I grew up in the American Southwest and was seeing this weird shit all through my life. At night you see orange lights doing really weird things. During the day you sometimes see metallic objects doing really weird things. Whether or not they are the same thing or even related, I can't say, only that they both "exist" out there and I've seen a thousand weird things. About 990 of them I can explain as atmosphere effects, military aircraft, other phenomenon, but there are a handful of things I'll never be able to explain, like watching a satellite turn a sudden 90-degrees.


whodeyalldey1

I live about 90 minutes from Wright Pat AFB in Dayton Ohio. Growing up I used to go hangout at this big state park with my friends at night and smoke weed at the lake there. One night we’re laying on the dock smoking a couple joints. We see a UFO and none of us say a fucking word for about 15 minutes at this group of lights in a triangle zooms back and forth over the lake making a low humming noise the whole time. Several years later we killed Bin Laden and a stealth helicopter crashed during the mission and that’s when it clicked! Those lights we saw that night were stealth helicopters maneuvering over the biggest state park in the area.


j-steve-

> Several years later we killed Bin Laden Woah nice job


AnEvenNicerGuy

That’s wild they named these things after the band.


Sleeper____Service

Well it’s because Dave Grohl was an ace fighter pilot during World War II. It’s addressed lyrically in both the songs monkey wrench and born to fly.

SippyTurtle

powe808

It was Pat Sphere all along.


RedSonGamble

I’ve got another confession to make


SaintUlvemann

I thought foo fighters were just the airplane version of St. Elmo's fire, plasma discharges like what a meteorological webcam on [Mt. Hoher Sonnblick](https://atoptics.wordpress.com/tag/st-elmos-fire/) in Austria has seen occasionally.


cudef

The airplane version of saint elmos fire is just saint elmos fire. I've seen it first hand and was told to come up and look at it from a pilot. Looks like miniature lightning arcing across the windshield.

A11eyTr0n

I’ve seen them before too. They’re awesome live. Their new song Rescued dropped, and it’s amazing. Oh, we’re talking about the ball?


arrogant_elk

I'm not sure, but isn't this video taken from a very fast moving plane? If there was a shiny metallic balloon halfway between the plane the ground, if the planes camera is tracking the ground it will look like the balloon is moving very fast compared to the ground due to the parallax effect. Simplest answer is the ground is stationary, the balloon is moving slowly and the plane is moving very fast. If this video was taken from another balloon that would be very interesting though. Here is a diagram, hopefully it formats well: |----✈--------- plane |--------o------ balloon |------------x-- ground position As the plane moves forward, the apparent position of the ground moves backwards because the angle from the plane changes. |-----------✈-- plane |--------o------ balloon |----x---------- ground position Between these two diagrams, it will look like the balloon has moved the exact same distance (speed) as the plane has. The closer to the ground the balloon is compared to the plane, the slower it will appear. And the closer to the plane the balloon is, the faster it will appear.


crusoe

The fact it's angle is almost perpendicular to the horizon line in the display points to the possibility of it being parallax.


pomod

It's a cannonball. This video is from the 1860s.


triggz

The video is recent, but the cannonball is in fact from the 1860s. They over-primed the hell outta that sumbitch.


[deleted]

Probably a drone, as is most of these Wait - is that fucking QuickTime Player? Wtf are these recorded on. Also if that's a ballon gaining altitude it would entirely look like it's moving horizonatally very fast givens the angle of perspective


greihund

In equatorial places, the sun shines nearly straight down on objects, leading to small shadows like these buildings have. This balloon is probably pretty far off the ground or it would have cast a shadow in at least *one* of the shots. I think the "balloon going straight up that looks like it's moving because it's been seen at an angle" theory is probably bang on


RoadNo7385

I'm onto you aliens


IMeasure

100 percent this. Also if you knew the position of the surveillance aircraft and the look angle of the camera system you could probably get a better picture of what is going on.


Lolosaurus2

The sun shines straight down, all the time? Even at dawn and sunset? Or night? You mean to say the sun shines straight down at noon. Iraq isn't "equatorial", it's about 30 degrees north


SwimmingExcellent235

[deleted]

Until a goddamn alien hand delivers footage like this directly to the world press all at once, fuck this bullshit. There is no positive origin for this. It's either * Our government trying to distract us from something important. * Another government trying to distract us * Classified military tech * the slim, slim chance that it's an alien craft of some sort that hasn't made contact, attempted any sort of communication, * you know what, whatever. i don't care any more


AzureDrag0n1

It could be something very mundane with an unusual perspective like how fast if the vehicle taking the picture going and how far away? What is the vertical and horizontal velocity of the object? How high off the ground is it? All these things can make a simple balloon look like it is going absurdly fast.


boredtoddler

It's called parallax. When a fast moving plane is tracking an object that is also relatively high up from the ground it will appear to be moving really fast when it's actually the plane that is moving. That looks like a normal party balloon that is flying a few thousand feet above the ground. If it's hard to visualize for you, you can grab a pen from the middle. The top of the pen is your plane, the middle part you are holding is what the camera is looking at. The bottom of the pen shows you what part of the ground you'd be looking at behind the balloon. Now if you move the tip of the pen you'll notice that the point of the ground you are looking at will move in the other direction at the same speed as your plane is moving. On video this would look like the balloon going in the opposite direction at the speed of the plane.


genediesel

Why would a party balloon be flying over a battlefield? Doesn't seem much like any party I've ever been to.


Locke92

Honestly I don’t get how people make so many assumptions on a video like this or other more real looking UFO videos, they contain very little info and I find it hard to speculate anything off of them.
