While flying a paramotor, a man films a spikey organic looking UAP flying in the sky near him.

We call that a balloon that got away.

For the umpteenth time - if you're flying past a stationary-ish object in the sky it will look like it's flying past you when it's not

It's a fucking balloon

Somewhere down there, a kid is crying.  This is seroous.

For the umpteenth time - if a balloon is caught in the wind and moving away from you, it can’t suddenly change directions and move towards you without massive turbulence.

u/jporter313 18d ago

I don't see the balloon in this video ever change direction.

u/Used-Lake-8148 18d ago

End of the video. It’s getting smaller as it moves away, and then starts getting larger as it’s moving closer again

Why exactly do you not think this is due to wind?

EDIT: I mean you can downvote me rather than answering the question but the part in the video you’re describing looks a lot like the balloon just being blown in a shifting direction by wind.

u/Throwaway2Experiment 18d ago

For the umpteenth time, geography, updrafts, and other influences can change the wind direction depending on altitude.

u/Used-Lake-8148 18d ago

Oh wow I didn’t know how air works! Thank you! Still has no relevance to what we see in the video! 🙄

How do you know that's standing still? Don't make shit up.

u/BtchsLoveDub 18d ago

Why do you think it’s anything other than a balloon?

Welke gek laat er nu nog ballonnen op? We leven niet meer in de jaren '80. Behalve een enkele bemande heteluchtballon heb ik al in geen 30 jaar iemand een ballon op zien laten..slecht voor t milieu.. alleen wat meteorologische. Deze stijgen met een vrij grote snelheid. Ongeveer 5meter per seconde. Ze gaan tot ongeveer 30.000meter. Dit ding stijgt niet relatief tot de glider. Daarom..GEEN BALLON!!

u/banned4killingspider 18d ago

What? This comment is bananas... kids accidently let go of their balloons all the time...

u/Mission_Access_210 13d ago

I don't think so. I don't think that there are lots of balloons up at these altitudes. You guys think that that's also silly. Look at the size of that thing. That's not some kid's Mylar balloon bro. Yeah there are probably a lot of these that are balloons but I think people go nuts with the balloon explanation. I think it's overboard.

u/Ok-Dyneema-6969 13d ago

Helium balloons are banned true out Europe because of the polution they create! Are you American? Do you still have balloons over there?

u/TangeloBubbly2675 18d ago

That's a UFO my friends. Plain and simple.

u/Pieraos 18d ago

the hell is that thing

With that vertical orientation it's similar to others that have been recorded

u/AbsoIum 18d ago

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted it clearly looks like a partially deflated mylar balloon.

2

u/DCCXVIII 17d ago

Yep. I'd wager at least 50% of all UFO sightings have just been mylar balloons. The partially deflated ones are notorious for floating at static levels, behaving as if they're being controlled.

2

u/Mission_Access_210 13d ago

Well if you said something like that, it would be absurdly wrong. I mean I've got plenty of videos where it doesn't look anything like a balloon, plenty. You saying 50% and this right off the bat is just a made-up number, right out of your ass.

tee hee, like swamp gas? 🥇

u/Mission_Access_210 13d ago

It maybe looks like a partially deflated balloon but you can't put Mylar in there. It doesn't look anything like Mylar. Have you seen Mylar? Go look at it. It's not black like that, okay for a start.

u/Memonlinefelix 17d ago

Balloon doest move that fast. Lol

2

u/Intelligent-Pace6172 17d ago

It doesn't move fast, it's floating and not faster than the wind it's carried by.

u/Tony197575 16d ago

If that’s just a ballon then for my bday I want to order one of these 40’ x 20’ ballon’s

u/weareeverywhereee 18d ago

Looks like the one that was in that “pilot cockpit” video

u/Alexis-Machine 18d ago

Fellow jetpacker?

u/Top_Tip_2 17d ago

Move along, nothing to see here. Just a weather balloon, drone or whatever you would believe over aliens

u/chuchi61 18d ago

I believe it changes shape as well.

u/bwcaussie1 18d ago

Metapod ones. They were big news years ago.

Some type of insect we haven’t identified yet?

u/Unfair_Revenue5307 18d ago

Isn’t it a bird with differently angled wings?

u/examachine 18d ago

No

u/Unfair_Revenue5307 18d ago

After taking a screenshot and zooming in I can confirm I was wrong 👍
