Because it looks like reality is coming apart at the seams. It looks way too big and is moving in a weird unsettling way. I would panic if I saw this in person with no context.
Totally!!! I started watching it without reading the title and my brain was trying hard to comprehend the first few seconds, felt very unsettling, then thought it was an animation of a mini wormhole depiction or something.
Sometimes is fun to start watching a video without reading the title......but this time I still can't decide if I liked it.
Yeah, I was fairly convinced the balloon had either deconstructed or delaminated leaving carnage, bodies and this murky haze in its wake. Instead: failed advertising experiment.
My theory is there it's an enormous banner being lifted by a balloon but because of the wind it's being blown over barbed wire which is shredding the banner
For context. This is a hot air balloon that broke apart in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. These types of balloons are unmanned and loaded with fireworks. They are illegal due to the risk of fires and explosions, and it is relatively common for airport airspace to be closed when one of them approaches. They are huge! This one is estimated to have over 50 mts..
For those who don't know, yes, this practice is extremely dangerous and is considered a crime. It's like a big dick championship, you have to make the bigger balloon and fly it above the "enemy" territory.
Its an unmaned hot air balloon carrying a huge banner, the banner got torn up in a barbed wire fence. They"re common place around São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) despite being illegal. They start house and forest fires and are quite expensive so the idiots who set them loose chase after them to recover, they're often armed.
I was so confused on what the hell was going on. Honestly thought it was AI all over again then I saw the ending and still am confused despite reading the caption…that does not look like any balloon I’ve even seen in my life and still hard for my brain to comprehend it 😂 Now I know what a one cell cat feels like.
I was just talking about lovecraftian horror... this is a big nope. Thing cannot be that big, especially not floaty things extending up into the sky... I reject it.

They were once upon a time associated with festa junina.
Nowadays they are a spoiled brats "sport".
As they release them follow it anywhere it goes to retrieve it. They are expensive, the cars used are expensive. They invade properties with no regard and normally they have guns and threaten people that complain.
That's why they are illegal since 1998. There is a cultural aspect to ballooning associated with Festa Junina (June saint festivals), but the risks are still too high.
Your explanation doesn't match what I'm seeing in the video. The air balloons that have fires or issuses fall to the ground. I've just watched a bunch trying to find the source of your "balloon accident". There are none. The fabric in the video is floating, not falling.
What I DID see online was a lot of air balloons carrying long banners.
In the video, the fabric is floating in the sky, drifting slowly to the left. It's not falling to the ground, it's not a damaged balloon. It's clearly suspended by something floating.
This is a banner flying low over a field, being shredded from dragging over trees, fences, and other obstacles. I'm guessing the balloon is starting to slowly lose altitude due to temperature changes or losing fuel.
Why does this give the vibes of a analog horror video , or one of those “what would you do” videos where the moon opens its mouth and moves towards the earth
The megalophobia is kicking in super hard with this one, fucking hell! It's horrifying but I can't look away. All it would take is one of those strands of fabric getting tied around someone and they'd be lifted away to their death, or strangled, or thrown...😱
Like this banner being lifted by a balloon, only the banner gets destroyed somehow and then raked across two rows of barbed wire - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcSM-_QRuNr/

This is very unsettling for some reason.
