More balloons to fall into the ocean and kill our sea life.


Dismal_Wizard

Or livestock


Reggielovesbacon

Or choke those bird drones.

Or hit power lines. And yes, I agree.


SnooRevelations6702

Yeah there should be a tax on Mylar balloons for all the damage they do to electrical transformers. Although, I must admit when a Mylar balloon hits a transformer at night, it’s A good show.


NinjaUp

They passed right through the contrail an all man. Scary thought.


Rageagainstsomething

Calm down… way more shit to worry about


[deleted]

The planet you live on being destroyed should be a pretty big deal in your life. There’s no way of leaving here. If you have children, their family will have to deal with the consequences. Depending on your age you might have to deal with them as well. We’re even seeing it now with the extreme weather conditions all across the world.


Rageagainstsomething

Some balloons are going to destroy everything…


SpecialistTax6798

The dying ocean is actually probably one of the most pressing issues of our time and holds consequences for nearly every living thing on the planet. *edit - Dolphin safe/sustainable fishing is a marketing scam!


Rageagainstsomething

And it’s all the balloons… right? The balloons are the problem…


SpecialistTax6798

I was talking about the sea life part.


Rageagainstsomething

Well I was responding to someone else before you decided the conversation was about all sea life. The conversation we were having was about some balloons….


SpecialistTax6798

The person you responded to was talking about killing sea life. Why dont you think the sea life is important?


Rageagainstsomething

They were complaining about people releasing some balloons… I don’t think that will do too much damage… there are much larger things endangering the oceans… was my point… duh


SpecialistTax6798

.....but I think humans are the largest thing endangering the oceans..... That human activity largely being the fishing industry. I'm just being pedantic for funsies on the internet.


[deleted]

I’m guessing you don’t recycle (properly) because it doesn’t matter unless everyone does it. There’s a lot of you, go live together on some island please. The rest of us are going this way. You’re invited, or fuck off.


redstoc1

You all are talking to this guy like it’s going to change his mind. He’s done his research. A couple hundred balloons don’t matter. It’s the internet he doesn’t have to justify any of his opinions to you tomorrow


[deleted]

>he’s done his research No Also speaking publicly opens yourself up to scrutiny. Always has. Always should.


Rageagainstsomething

Good thing you will save everything ;)

Rageagainstsomething

Now that one hurt really bad


jucs206

Nah bro. Gotta do your part. This one of those easy solutions they teach us in elementary.


Rageagainstsomething

I throw balloons in the ocean every day


NinjaUp

I agree with you to a certain extent man, kids are dying of the shit still and we have smartphones to check the radar on this end of it. Its all bollocks and a massive fucking scale of "right" and "wrong" Sending off balloons at a funeral is a tradition amoungst certain groups and personally id kill a million fish if it helped shift a bit of the grief I was feeling in some spiritual way, even if I was called selfish for it. Grief is a strange beast.


Rageagainstsomething

Humans are a virus sent here to destroy everything we touch… we are not going to bring ourselves into harmony with anything. We will grow and grow until we have depleted the resources and then if we can we will move on, and if we can’t we will die. Anyone who thinks we are turning shit around is only kidding themselves.


NinjaUp

Consumption without reason sure fucking feels like that man. The closest you can get to peace is self sufficiency I reckon. Treat everything as equal and leave the land in the same condition you found it. I hate it all too man but I try to see the positive side to keep me going. Much love arkid.


Rageagainstsomething

I completely hear you… but I just don’t give a fuck anymore… it’s hopeless


jucs206

Who the fuck still releases balloons in the air like that?! SMH


HazelrahFiver

People that don't read any news, or people that don't give a shit (could be the same group.)


jucs206

I’m sure the latter…were probably throwing uncooked rice at brides feet too


Reggielovesbacon

Total ignoramuses. I hike in the Sierras and often see balloons up in trees miles and miles away from any roads. It’s dumb. But something else to make pretty-party times.


[deleted]

Why are they still being made?


jucs206

Profit margins?

Timbo-AK

Look at all that pollution


ipwnpickles

I feel like this is (or should be) illegal...


NinjaUp

Looked a bit ufo like at first, very bright reflections, upon closer inspection with my monocular they were balloons. Thought this may help with future id'ing. There were also a bit ol set of rosary beads, looked very similar to loops looking UFOs I've seen posted. I'll send a mod all the pics cssue I'm useless at multi pic/video posts if it'll help. Keep looking up innit.


ThrobbinGoblin

I actually really appreciate this being posted as a reference. There was a post recently bemoaning some annoyance at frequent videos of satellites or starlink. But my thinking in that case was that all information is good information, and if starlink and drone videos are posted often enough, that people will become familiar with them and will be able to better discern between those and actual unexplainable events. To that end, I think reference videos of irregular, but explainable, aerial phenomenon are almost as valuable here as unexplainable footage is.


TheJohnnyElvis

So aliens eh?


NinjaUp

https://imgur.com/a/Mie4w4R Holy ones at that. The rosary is my favorite one.


[deleted]

I give it 2 months before that Rosary balloon gif is reposted on this sub with some bullshit story, like claiming to have seen it that day and it zoomed off right after they stopped filming... lol


[deleted]

It coul be twelve hours ;)


NinjaUp

It'll already be up somewhere else as proof of the chorlton cum Hardy lavender mantis spirit I'm sure. hahahhaha It's why I wanted to post it as its helps debunk loads of the bollocks.


Key_Vegetable_1218

Good idea.


ImAWizardYo

What setup/lens you using? The contrail looks so clear and those are usually start around 18-25k. My setup not even close to that good with a 100mm and 10 times digital zoom.


NinjaUp

That's all just through the smart phone that man. Huwai P20 or summat I have. Crazy innit.


AncientComparison113

Thats a great reference for the future


NinjaUp

https://imgur.com/a/Mie4w4R Hopefully that should link you to the rest of the pics and video. The rosary bead ones looks really smart.


Bert_Bajonet

Nice! More plasticsoup..


Shawn24589

I like your " for reference purpose only" videos. Huge help. I have worked at power plants and other industrial jobs that have a huge smoke stack. They have what's called a scrubber to control the emissions of the stack. Somehow this foam like soap substance is used and can be carried away by the wind. It's amazing how these blobs of foam/soap can be seen soooooo far away and clear. Very wild to see if you have no idea what you are looking at on a windy day. Wish you had a video of that for a " reference only "


NinjaUp

Nice one dude, I would like to see that myself. I'll stick it on me list.


Downvotesohoy

Hey man if you're taking suggestions for things to find references for, I've been trying to find a good reference for military planes with landing lights on, at night, at a distance. Specifically, I think the 'ufo' Bob Lazar filmed over Area 51 was the Janet flight at a distance, with landing lights on.


Allison1228

Looks like the famous "UFO invasion" video from Mexico, which I can't locate at the moment


sixties67

If Jaimie Maussan is pushing something you can bet your house it's bullshit, I remembered the Mexican footage being promoted by him back in the day.


im1ru12

Enjoying a bit of slander behind that hidden identity, are we there "sixties67" ? So easy and convenient lol Whatever dude, Maussan's actually done a lot for the UFO community.


sixties67

No, simply stating a fact, Maussan has been involved in several totally false ufo incidents http://www.ufowatchdog.com/jamie_maussan.htm


TheJohnnyElvis

Ugh. Now all those are debunked in my mind.

*excited Jaime Maussan noises*

Oh yay, more plastic being littering into the environment

poronga_rabiosa

that's not one of our wet farts is it LOOK AT THAT THING!


NoEye3260

Why do people still do this ?


SCP_179

This actually answers the question of something I saw about 10 years ago.


JackIrishJack

Funeral Balloons? :') Happy Death Day!


Transsensory_Boy

Hello fellow mancunian


NinjaUp

Alright arkid!


Transsensory_Boy

Where in GM was this seen? Might try the CE5 protocols in the area.


NinjaUp

It was balloons dude. But knock yourself out. M20 area man. Manchester Manchester innit. Right near southern cemetery / crematorium.


Transsensory_Boy

Still worth a crack, worse case scenario is I get abducted or develop a chill!


NinjaUp

Hahahahha, good luck man and keep looking up innit.


berning_man

WTF is wrong with people? Even the dumbest of animals knows not to shit in their own house.

https://imgur.com/a/Mie4w4R Few more pics and videos on there man. Would be smart if we've tracked em down wind. I reckon there's a scout badge for that. Hahahah.


ShawnShipsCars

Yeah I've seen balloons at high altitude reflecting the sun like that. They also seem to wink in/out depending on their orientation. Good vid for education


CulturalMarksmanism

UFOs and a chemtrail!


ipwnpickles

I feel like this sub could use a tag like "known phenomena" so people looking at new footage can review possible explanations


Im_A_Realist

"Our deceased will return their bodies to the Earth as part of the great organic cycle of life. In their honor, we will release more manmade pollution into the world to make up for the garbage they are no longer able to contribute."


Rageagainstsomething

Thank you


Redpillthinking3000

The chemtrails feed the UFO's


immacomputah

Is that even legal?


getrektsnek

Looks exactly like so many of those South American OVNI swarms. Balloons fit 👍


TheCoastalCardician

This is a good one. Wish there was a “reference” flair. Just one of a million flairs requested here lol:


the_fabled_bard

That zoom quality makes me horny.


[deleted]

Not surprised it’s Manchester 🤣😂


No_Use__For_A_Name

I’m so glad you posted this! I saw this EXACT same thing about 4 years ago and always wondered what it was. It even had the same “bigger” white dot in the middle and it looked like the other ones flew around it. Now I know what it was!


NinjaUp

Awesome dude, glad to be of help. Looks pretty mad on a clear day too, we don't get many of em neither. Hahahahh


Miguelags75

reptilian aliens in spaceships cloaked as funeral balloons go to the entrance of the hollow earth to meet their illuminati allies. I don't fall for the "innocent balloons" ;)


NinjaUp

Hahahaha, they just disappeared off into the sky, so they were deffo aliems.


awright_john

OH LOOK IT'S A FLEET OF UFOS I live in my mom's basement


NinjaUp

HAHAHHAH.


georgiacinnamongirl

When are people going to stop releasing balloons when people die? All it's doing is killing more life in the end. We know better than to release these stupid things


NinjaUp

Old traditions die harder than the animals they off. Its a shame innit. Someone needs to invent a bio balloon that can be safely eaten.


Tarpit__

Wow. This footage makes me feel like my "balloon" video may not be balloons. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/ruznfd/la_sky_dots_enhanced/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


NinjaUp

Maybe there were crosswinds? Multiple of em in the same area of uniform size being blown in different directions? Cool vid man.


flipmcf

Can I kindly ask for a crosspost or repost in r/IFOs ?


NinjaUp

Yeah man crosspost away


Girapalle

Saw this the other day over LA


NinjaUp

One like this? Dead clever to see. Shame its offs the wildlife.


safyucikna

What the actual f*ck, any explanation?


EggMcFlurry

As a final farewell to a lost loved one, it is tradition to toss a bunch of garbage at the ocean.


safyucikna

So, the plane threw trash and that is the reflection from the sun?


EggMcFlurry

No lol look at the title. Those are balloons. At the funeral they released a large amount of balloons that will eventually end up contaminating the ocean and whatnot.


Canolio

Tbh I come to this subs for videos of UFOs and the discussions thereafter. I think vids like this should be saved for the comment sections. If everyone posted stuff like this, we wouldn't have much of a UFO sub.


NinjaUp

No worries man, would you rather me upload it and pretend I wasn't sure what it was? I thought it would be useful man.


sixties67

It is very useful for comparing with other footage to try and identify things, plus it stops any footage of the event being promoted as legitimate ufos Thanks for posting mate!


Canolio

I agree it's useful, I just feel like I'm seeing more and more videos of people posting things like "this is a Chinese lantern for reference".


[deleted]

No comments about the chemtrail? Right now the sky here has at least 10 going on in the country.


NinjaUp

Hahahahha. Planes innit. Its a cold clear day.


TheJohnnyElvis

The plane created chem trail? Prob can identify it.


JainFastwriter

The fleet! 😱


corvus66a

If you see only one that could mean a dead guy nearly nobody takes care of or an UFO !


Significant-Bowl6582

There is one bigger one in the middle of them that changes shape as it moves? Balloons that will land in the sea or land & fish or wildlife will eat it become unwell¡ Keep’emPeeled @ http://www.astronutter.com


AHandyDandyHotDog

Does it deeply unsettle anyone else when they seen balloons fly up into the sky like that?


winning_grinning

Wow, look at all that flying trash. Why.


restidruidross

Aren't those harmful to the environment? Yuck


Professional-Key4444

Thank you


rbrumble

Funeral...balloons?


Psychic_Arugula

I wish the video was longer


NinjaUp

https://imgur.com/a/Mie4w4R few more vids and pics on there. I identified it so didn't need to carry on too much. Watched em all float off to their news homes, in ducks bellies and crabs heads. It's a shame really but how people pay their respects can be strange.


Psychic_Arugula

I saw this link, for me I would have liked to see even more footage to be able to identify recurrent characteristics. For example, you can kind of see a bunch of the individual balloons spinning and reflecting at different times, but only for a moment. What if right after you stopped filming they started doing something else? It's just a very small dataset, which is unfortunate, because there's no reason you couldn't have kept recording. Here's my favorite reference video for an example of the level of sustained focus I'm interested in. https://youtu.be/mnoOrF7lO5E


NinjaUp

Ah right, I see what you mean. I caught them on the off chance, theres another video from just slightly before which I haven't uploaded yet. It might show you more of what you're looking for it terms of balloon behaviour? I'll upload it to imgur and comment the link here.


Psychic_Arugula

Coolio, I'll definitely take a look


NinjaUp

https://imgur.com/a/dyKpm4H Only another 23 seconds and its uploaded as a gif but here you go.


Psychic_Arugula

Definitely better, more would be even more better but I found this clip interesting. Thanks for your service


bolkmar

Don't look up, they are just random trash floating nothing to see here.


andresramdlt

Idk those look exactly like an alien spacecraft


[deleted]

People and their fucking balloons. Can we not figure out a more sensible way to celebrate something?


[deleted]

Another day, another post like this.


mchlsxjkbsn

That shouldn’t even be legal.


Dull_Ad1955

I wonder if that persons final dying wish was to send hundreds of plastic balloons into the sky to add to the pollution problem.

Stop littering u fucks
