An example of parallax. The yellow sphere is not moving, it's just hovering about 5,000 feet up. The camera filming it is moving in a straight line. So it looks like the sphere is moving in a straight line.

There are rumors of a high-resolution video of a giant, fast-moving craft larger than an oil platform. Here's one possible explanation: parallax. The moon is very far away. The camera aircraft is orbiting the oil platform from a distance. The platform looks like it's not moving, then a giant dark disk seems to fly (underwater) beneath it. This was created in Sitrec. The aircraft is going 234 knots. The oil platform is about 300 feet. The moon is reflecting off the surface of the ocean - sometimes informally referred to as the "shadow" of the moon. We haven't seen the video, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is what it was.

What if this is an actual white egg, duct-taped to some fishing line, and used as a challenge by a helicopter pilot to show off their skill in lowering stuff? Unrelated to aliens. It's just a hypothesis. Can it be disproved?

In Jamie Maussan's latest "Buga Sphere" video, the fishing line suspending the silver ball is clearly visible, reflecting the sun. (view full screen)

Adding keyframes to the 3D feature tracking shows that the object in the Pentagon's PR043 UFO video is consistent with a ~13 cm diameter object moving in level flight at 20 knots. Or any number of faster, larger objects. So maybe a bird, or a balloon.

The contents of Jesse's video don't match the cover. Rebelo claims no special knowledge; basically, he believes the witnesses and what he read in the paper, and when asked if he looked into UFOs at all as SecDef, he just laughed and said, "No, we had other concerns."

Looking at the newly released Mosul Orb UFO video. It seems consistent with a large balloon.

Stitching a UFO video into a panorama makes it easier to see the overall apparent motion of the object (a black dot, starting in the lower right). But it also magnifies the parallax illusion, as the static background makes the camera motion less apparent.

I saw this stabilization effect years ago. I always thought it would be fun to try, so now it's in Sitrec.

Trump says this guy is lucky to be alive and is "now recovering in the hospital". He seems entirely uninjured. He shot her from the side in a pointless act that did not increase anyone's safety. He should be charged with manslaughter. Always be filming.

This video shows two distant parachute flares being used as targets. An A-10 flies in and releases countermeasure flares near them. It looks like it hits them, but it does not. You can see the flares being released just before it "hits" the second target. The video was on YouTube in 2017. Location is probably near FOB Shank.

This looks like a cool UFO on a phone screen, but if you magnify it and brighten it, you can see it looks like a seagull.

These "drones" in Brussels sure look like a helicopter and a distant plane.

Video of Belgian drone sightings. Nothing inconsistent with planes. We'd need the exact Date, Time, Location, and Direction (the DTLDs) to check

Patrick Jackson In this case, the "engineering" is the Skinwalker crew over-enhancing a video so they could see a bug flying past, a few feet away.
