Pentagon releases UFO footage

This is pretty cool:


The bending is due to the rolling shutter effect which affects all but a handful of the more expensive pro cameras out there.

It amazes me how many people on Reddit and on Youtube are saying that's an arrow which is makes no logical sense what so ever.

Amazing how much time people have on their hands to record such drivel. It could be something interesting, but it looks very close to the camera, and small so that narrows down the interest for me.

at 4m00s "When I first saw it... is this jut a blade of grass?", then we have another 4.5 minutes of explaining that there must be some propulsion as a frame or two could exhibit some 'plasma' and "what can move so fast so silently". How about something small in the wind on the side of a hill and close to the camera?

Could be some rolling shutter at that rate, which direction is the shutter/sensor updating on this phone? I reckon there's a fair bit of wide angle distortion too when getting that close to the edge of the lens.
 
looks like shutter roll or whatever you call it, probably a blade of grass or insect, I remember a few years ago some mountain with a hole or whatever had insects flying around it and people kept presenting them as "aliens" cos they looked weird on most videos


probably just something wrong with the camera

The original video was filmed in slow motion which makes the object likely too fast to be something small blowing in the wind like a blade of grass. That's what made the original video so interesting due to the shear speed the object appears to by moving at. That 4.5min explaining video was a load of nonsense. I don't see any signs of it being a craft that exhibits 'plasma'.

At least at first the object looks to be in the wrong spot to be wide angle distortion although that could be some as it moves towards the edge near the end. For reference that video was reported as recorded at 240fps.

True, I've no idea. But slow motion doesn't change my view of the perceived speed when it's playing at 240fps (real-time), still think it's most likely something small with negliable mass moving nearer to the lens.
 
Apparently congress have a public hearing on the 9th Sept with 3 witnesses giving evidence regarding UAP etc...
 
Not UFO related but a really good discussion on "life" from this week's Event Horizon interview with former SETI chairman John Gertz:

Absolutely, the galaxy has the ingredients to make life wherever possible HOWEVER intelligent life is another matter.
It has taken 5 billion years for intelligent life on Earth and this is after many accidents including around 7 mass extinctions.
The recipe for making intelligent life has been very complex and is it possible it could happen again?
If humans died out what are the chances of another animal becoming intelligent? - probably none.

So let's say we know there is a high possibility of life on a planet 1000 light years away, how do we visit or they visit us?
At this point there is zero evidence of magic ways to do this, it's impossible.

Well this is where the Fermi Paradox comes in.
On Earth intelligent life that can communicate with other supposed Aliens has been around 10000 years or so, perhaps more perhaps less.
The chances of another planet 1000 light years away creating intelligent life with all the many accidents the planet would have to go through, would be virtually impossible at the same time as us.
Do you think humans will be here in 5 million years time? - I think not and they would come and go in a blink of the Galaxys Eye.

It's a lovely thought the Star Wars and Star Trek Galaxy but also very silly.
