Pentagon releases UFO footage

"Speaking to the NASA panel today, AARO director Kirkpatrick said that roughly 2 to 5 percent of AARO's current database of approximately 800 UAP cases constituted real and baffling anomalies"

Thats quite interesting, whats that 16 to 40 UAPs are "baffling" anomalies. I hope that somehow we can get whatever it is thats required to get ones like that investigated/studied. Skeptical of the whole aliens thing but really interesting to know just what those 2 to 5 percent are.
 

About that 'UFO video' from the US Navy...
The video (as seen below) was filmed, Semeter says, by US Navy officers and appears to show an object moving "very fast" against the current of the ocean.
In fact, he says, analysis of all the available information shows the object was moving at about 40mph.

So the experts have determined that the original “gofast” video, was indeed an illusion caused by parallax.. And not something moving fast at all..

After all that….

Sounds around right 40 baffling anomalies out of the recent 800 ish reports. They also expanded on the Silver Orb on the battlefield from the MQ9 drone. Seemingly ruling out visual panning / parallax as they understand the sensors on the MQ9 Reaper drone very well. With it being live I cannot rewind to get the precise wording, something about that was one of many silver orbs in that region and there data often isn't a single source often muti sensor data which also rules out visual panning / parallax. He said something along the lines of while that Orb moved in a straight some of the others have anomalous movements.

There was a good line about how mobile phone footage is near useless and not useful to submit from a video point of view though the geo tagging element is useful. The phone sensors are not good enough to capture any meaningful detail unless the object is unusually close. As I have been saying for a while when it comes to capturing objects high up in flight from a mobile.

He also said they solved the videos of the UFOs entering the water and can explain that effect. But did not go into detail as it was a time limited question time.

UFOs are not really saucers less then 2% of reports are disk shaped. Approx 50% are Silver Orbs commonly around 1 to 4 meters in size typically at altitudes of 10k to 30k moving up to Mach 2 with no known mean of propulsion (no exhaust detected). Tend to be white, silver or Translucent. Current thinking is what ever they are, they are unmanned. 23% of reports are at an altitude of 25k and 32% are at an altitude of 20k. There are certain hotspot regions in the data where Silver Orbs and other UFOs seem to be so they plan to put specialized sensors/recording equipment focused on those areas if they can legally.

Unmanned drones can still be alien but probably more likely to be advanced terrestrial made, either US or China, probably no chance them being Russia, given their poor drone game in Ukraine
 
Where did they say that?
In the Kirkpatrick section. He said they understand the sensors on the MQ9 drone very well he mentioned the MQ9 by name in relation to the Silver Orb. He talked about other Silver Orbs in the same region briefly in the same section. The question was along the lines of how do you know the size as visually people would estimate wrong (Not the wording used) I think that was aimed more in general terms rather than at the single Orb. Kirkpatrick explained that his data set is muti sensor DOD data from differing sources so they can work out the size and they are not just relaying on visual data or reports from the witness. He went on to say most of the reports from the DOD include muti sensor data points. It sounded like he had more reports on Silver Orbs from that region but did not go into detail.

They know when something is visual panning / parallax or not. He has sensor specialists analysing frame by frame. While they cannot work out just what the silver orb is, they so far cannot explain it away. If it was proven as visual panning / parallax the case would be closed. At the moment it remains open as unresolved. He then went onto another UFO video he managed to resolve and explain away due to sensor jitter which was rather interesting.
 
I just watched it, and the sum total of the discussion was essentially “this is a real object, we don’t know what it is”

That’s basically it, so I don’t know where you’re getting the rest of it from :confused:

Well not really, I imagine they’d only close the case if they identified whatever the object is, regardless of how it moved or looked..

That's not right there is far more to it then that. There was an entire bit on sensors in relation to that Orb, they talked about sensor artefacts, data processing artefacts, how was the data collected. He effectively said no too all those explanations they understand the "MQ9 very, very well" in his words. He calls it a metallic Orb or Sphere he said "we see these all over the world, making very interesting apparent manoeuvres" the words on the screen are behaviour consistent with other "Metallic Orb" observations in the region.

The data is starting to show a pattern. Most of this data is built off DOD reports with muti sensory platforms involved as he explained which is how they can work out the size, speed and altitude. Half the reports are metallic or Silver Orbs flying around with no known means of propulsion detected. The Orbs appear to be 1 to 4 meters in size. Often at high speeds and high altitude the bulk of reports being at 20k to 25k altitude. Some like that video are doing nothing special bar the fact its flying with no evidence of propulsion like the other Orbs. Others are doing in his words "interesting apparent manoeuvres". So its time to stop pretending there is nothing to this and everything is just balloons or other low tech explanations. Is says there right on the screen. "behaviour consistent with other "Metallic Orb" observations in the region". There is a pattern where these Orbs make up the bulk of the reports, are flying too fast for balloons and many of them are doing apparent manoeuvres at altitudes you don't typically find balloons.

We don't have a proper breakdown of the data but we can extrapolate from what has been given. 800+ reports so with aprox 50% are Orbs. That means aprox 400 reports are Orbs. 50% of reports are at 20k to 25k altitude its reasonable to assume a good portion of these are Orbs. If we do 15k to 25k altitude that makes up 80% of reports and its more then reasonable to assume 500+ reports are Orbs at this altitude range. The Orbs show on thermal both short wave, medium wave thermal along with radio and radar but show no thermal exhaust. Moving to fast to be balloons and some doing apparent manoeuvres.

Something is happening. I don't know if its some sort of unknown natural anomaly no one has encountered before or more likely someone has some sort of new advanced unmanned military tech. But something appears to be going off that is more then just sensor glitches or fake reports from conspiracy theorists and nut jobs. What ever these Metallic Orb things are, they would explain away a great many modern day UFO sightings. It also makes one wonder how many reports people instantly jumped to, its just a balloon are in fact really these unmanned Metallic Orb things.

I think I saw a UFO about 15 years ago, there was this really loud sound and this large lit up objected hovered about 5M from the road about 200m in front of me then shot up virtually in the sky and disappeared. Next morning on the radio there were a number of calls about a sighting, about 10min later the presenter said they had a call from the Royal airforce claiming it was a display flight. What airfare plane flies virtually and ileven if it could, would fly that low to a major public road?

Just offering this as a possibility. Around 15 years ago the Royal Air Force had Harrier jump jets which could do everything you described. They could hover 5M from the road and would be able to shoot up vertically being as far as I recall at that time the only plane in the world that does that. This would also explain the loud sound as they made a real loud sound when flying vertically near the ground or when they hovered. Being the only military to have successful vertical take-off and vertically flying planes is something that Royal Air Force was known for 15 years ago and they did do display flights to show off vertical flying. Typically the air shows would be done in fields near roads.

Except this was in Tasmania, Australia and it was over a major highway, but definitely an Interesting possibility, thinking about it would have been between 2006 and 2007.

The Soviet Yak-38, with over 200 were built
 
Even more interesting is the fact the replacement Yak-141 was not adopted by Russia but 4 prototypes were purchased by Lockheed Martin, who were designing the F-35 at the time.

Sorry to go off topic.
 
Interesting session (YT - Rewatch Here) although the summary still seems to be "We've got no idea". Although AI and machine learning, along with custom sensor arrays, might help with future events and data, especially with ruling out known objects.


So the experts have determined that the original “gofast” video, was indeed an illusion caused by parallax.. And not something moving fast at all..

After all that….
~35 knots is still fairly quick on water, even if it isn't 'out of this world' type speeds.

Would have been interesting to hear about the object (allegedly) dipping into the ocean/water though and the explanation for that - supposedly the ARRO are releasing data at some point.

Seemingly ruling out visual panning / parallax as they understand the sensors on the MQ9 Reaper drone very well.

With regards to the 'spherical orb' (YT - Kirkpatrick Slide Here) video, Kirkpatrick says -
...this one in particular however, i would point out, demonstrated no enigmatic technical capabilities and was no threat to airborne safety. While we are still looking at it, i don't have anymore data than that.

He then moves on to explaining that DOD sensors (MQ-9 platform) are not scientific sensors and alludes to the inaccuracy (YT - Sensors) -
The vast majority of what we have reported to us are DOD sensors. DOD sensors are not scientific sensors, they are not intelligence community sensors. Believe or not, intelligence community sensors are very close to scientific sensors - they are calibrated, they are high precision, they are everything you would want to know about a 'thing'.
...
DOD sensors have one purpose, they are to identify an object that is known and put a weapon on it. That is what they're for.

Then one of the panelists asks a question, again specifically about the 'spherical orb', or rather 'meatball' (YT - Question) -
Was there any look at sensor artifact, data processing artifact...when ever i see anything anomalous, i look at how the data is collected.
Kirkpatrick responds by saying -
This is a EO (electro-optical) sensor on an MQ-9 and, we understand that very very well. That is, that is a real object, absolutely.

Maybe i've missed it but, with regards to the 'spherical orb' video, can you point out where in the session Kirkpatrick ruled out motion parallax?
From what i watched, he didn't and the summary of the 'spherical orb' seems to be the usual - "we don't know".

I can go back to 1975 where the whole of the street was out watching a UFO and the Cops were called who were also watching it.
My next door neighbour came out, looked up at it and said "That's a Harrier Jump Jet" and walked back inside.
He was right.
