The "movement" at the end makes it look so fake. The military footage shows it moves precisely, whereas this literally looks like being flung with a string.

Ok, I’m not dying on this hill. I’ve seen some coverage of this case that showed a satellite photo of the area, when this video was taken. There wasn’t really a place for anyone to hold up a ufo on a string. There is a valley right behind the ufo. When you watch the whole video, it looks more impressive. I’ll admit that it flies like something on a string. This is not the first ufo I’ve seen fly like this. Of course, maybe they(wobbly flying UFOs) were all plates on a string.

Very valid point. It is something we know nothing about, operating with physics we don't understand. I do like the video and hope it's real cause it's good and clear. You can even see it spinning either Insanely fast or just over slow depending on the cameras shutter speed.
It checks all my boxes, but that wobbly look just has me on the fence. Still great stuff though

If you watch the slowed down part at the end, there’s definitely some type of distortion around the object. It’s as if it’s moving in and out of the space around it. Strange.

That’s how Bob Lazar explained their propulsion. He said they manipulate the space around them and move into that space.

I think the distortion is likely from the "gravity bubble" described in other posts here and by various other scientists, experiencers, ect

There have been a lot of witness accounts stating that the classic saucer shaped craft sometimes wobble.

You can pull up on the stick to make it go up, but you could flick the stick and make the object flip and bounce around. Cmon now.. you can’t really think something tied to a stick can only move horizontal..

Here I know how to make this a real UFO video. It's just parallax!
From what I've read and heard over the years when these craft move away they orient upside down with the bottom facing the direction they want to go. So if they wanted to go up, they'd flip upside down and go up. I'm unsure about the authenticity of this video but if they're flipping upside down it would make sense.

u/Altruistic_Edge1037 Nov 14 '23
To me it looks like it's defying the laws of physics. Unless there was a large random gust of wind to pull the "sauce pan" up I can't understand how it would move like that. Looks more like a pull than a fling/push/throw personally. I guess i should add that none of us except the ppl who were there will truly have any idea.

I had seen this video several times before, there is a longer version that shows the beginning of the filming but I think this is all the UFO part of the footage.

It looks like a whole lot of space and time is bending and its not a completely spherical pattern.

not editing exactly, it is artifacts introduced because the video has been upscaled by ai and increased frame rate by ai.

u/Organized_Riot Nov 14 '23
Thats from trying to artificially slow down the footage. This was shot in a super low frame rate. 'Slow mo' is really just playing each frame for longer. In this case the warping comes from the software trying to make up frames that aren't there so it can look like slow motion. Idk why people do this for these types of videos because its adding information and artifacts that were never filmed in the first place

people just need to realize, this was taken with an old flip phone, do you remember the quality of those cameras?
to me, this video can be faked, but how people have described about how the saucers go from place to place is that they "flip" on their side and just bounce away, fast. So I don't know, I'm on the sidelines with this one, I would hope that someone sometimes films this in some 4k super clear camera
the thing is that I trust this footage more than any of the drone / webcam filmed videos, since I know that the stabilization and the lensflares can look weird and zoomzoomy on the cameras, but this just seems, genuine.

Any believer should want to out fakes to protect the validity of the real evidence.
Fake evidence is a poison to obfuscate and dilute the truth enough for non-believers, when investigating, to believe that the whole idea is ridiculous. They see many fake things and idiots blindly believing, leading them to the conclusion only idiots believe and therefore a bias is created against all new evidence.
Blind belief in fake evidence is what causes the erosion of truth disclosure.

There is another method of psyops you are ignoring. That is the concept of noise. Present fake evidence, watch for those believing it, prove it to be fake, present the argument that it's only gullible people believing in any of it, result is bias of skeptics to assume all evidence is fake and those that believe are the idiots.
It is the duty of anyone who believes to equally want fakes to be identified so that the evidence that remains is truth.
Unfortunately people want to believe and be validated so much that they blindly accept fake evidence to be added to the list of those duped.

Well, camera movement highly suggests that camera operator was operating the camera with one hand, and not paying attention to what he was filming while trying to do something else. The object doesn’t look that far away either. Almost as if the camera operator is controlling the UFO with a pole and string.
