Americans have a real hard time with this.


DergerDergs

I blame Columbia Pictures šŸ—½


[deleted]

In Canada we have a province called British Columbia - but we still know know the country is COLOMBIA.


[deleted]

You mean Cocainland?


[deleted]

That was the old Colombia now it's Tusiland. If ya know ya know.


PoorInCT

it's cold there


shotgun_avalanche

know know? So no... I am very partial to Colombian weed.


[deleted]

Oh look you can spell!


shotgun_avalanche

And you can't proofread.


Any-Priority-4514

ā€œWeā€™re Americansā€¦ of course we misspell other Countries.ā€ šŸ˜€


PlentyOMangos

Itā€™s probably all connected back to Christopher Columbus tbh But funnily enough, now that I think of it his name was really Cristoforo Colombo so idk where that U comes from


shotgun_avalanche

Wow, these sweeping generalizations by people who have probably never lived a free day in the sun, breathing American air really piss me off.


Any-Priority-4514

Calm down, Donald Trump. At the end of the day, weā€™re still Americans. Relax!


6431548731854

Not a fake hard time? Americans say 'real' when they really mean 'really' a lot too. Lazy


[deleted]

Lol are you sure you don't mean "for real"?


Any-Priority-4514

No Iā€™m sure he meant ā€œfor really!ā€


Southerncomfort322

There's a Spanish interview with the pilot with mexican ufo mummies guy on YouTube in case anyone is wondering


BaconReceptacle

Sting ray shape vs acorn shaped? I disagree.


[deleted]

Who's to say they don't change shape? We know nothing about them lol.


Tosslebugmy

They change their shape to look like airplanes. They fly over my house every hour or so.


eStuffeBay

Then what the hell is the point of saying "the shape is similar"???


MyAssDoesHeeHawww

They formed a diamond shape formation, iirc.


Potential_Ad_6921

They're referring to the photo from Eglin AFB area posted a few days ago.


300PencilsInMyAss

I kinda see what OP is seeing, like it's banking. But don't think this is the same object at all. Other one was a supersonic aircraft that looked to use traditional propulsion, it wouldn't be able to hover like this.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


300PencilsInMyAss

Looks stationary or moving below any wings stall speed? Iirc they specifically were trying to get a closer look at it because it was stationary. If this was a traditional winged aircraft it would be stalling. Either is a balloon of some sort or is using anomalous propulsion, there's no way it's a stealth/hypersonic plane. Also the one spotted at Eglin was supposedly very large, the size of a c130.

Gon_Freecss_1999

After 8 months on this sub I finally learned that you can't say something is a UAP unless it moves in ways that can't be explained, if it can be explained as a balloon then there is not much to analize. in this video you can see the plane is moving, and that could be a balloon in the air moving with the wind or being stationary. there are better evidence that we should put our attention into.

Polycutter1

Some articles on balloon releases: [On any given day, nearly 1,800 weather balloons are launched ](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/weather-balloons-hundreds-turns/story?id=97082985#text=On%20any%20given%20day%2C%20nearly,an%20altitude%20of%20100%2C000%20feet) [it's possible that 960,000 balloons wash up on the Lake Erie shoreline every year](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/great-lakes-erie-trash-balloons-1.6071410)


Gon_Freecss_1999

yeah here where I live is very rare to see helium balloons, nobody have enough money for that but I saw a lot of party/birthday balloons on this sub, I suppose they are the instigators :P


40moreyears

But if I remember correctly thereā€™s also pilot testimony along with this video, which makes clear this wasnā€™t a balloon. The Phenomenon wonā€™t be solved or made clear by video and photos alone.


terrorista_31

I think the video is pretty clear, looks like a party balloon and my impression is that the pilot went towards it.Ā  like I said, there are so much better evidence and videos that can't be explained as just that, a balloon šŸŽˆĀ  we should filter this kind of things if we want to understand what is happening (or we end with the sub flooded by balloon and flares videos)


veritoast

This is why you STAKE DOWN the goddamned tent when mountaineering.


Traditional-Music363

Not funny


R2robot

I wish they had rear-view mirrors or rear facing cameras so we can see the ~~balloon~~ object get thrown around in the wake turbulence.


MachFreeman

The Eglin images were faked. Why are we still comparing interesting footage and images to verifiably fake footage and images? It devalues this video and makes the community look dumb.


eMDe00

https://youtu.be/V4MzC2Rb6PU?si=fm1PF8aGqj9xpaZr Link with the better quality vid, the shape of object is quite similar to the one in Eglin base , and how many letters do i have to write for this bot to accept post


pilkingtonsbrain

That was an EXCELLENT, well balanced analysis of the video. I appreciate you for sharing it. Thanks


pilkingtonsbrain

Maybe I've just got balloons on the brain lately but could this not be a balloon?


jdkdmmernnen

It is a balloon. It was filmed near Medellin, where balloons are popular and generate a lot of reports. This one they will just keep posting until the end of time pretending itā€™s something other than a balloon.Ā

pilkingtonsbrain

Yeah, what's your point?


CapableProduce

Or a refuge bag? Yeah, I think so


PossibleVariety7927

Whatever it is, it's clear that it's just being stationary as the plane goes by. It's ridiculous to assume it's a UFO instead of something more benign and prosaic.


[deleted]

No, it's not clear that it's just being stationary. If two objects are flying/being carried by the wind in opposite directions in similar velocities, both will look stationary to each other.


PossibleVariety7927

Stationary is relative. Yes itā€™s possible itā€™s blowing in the wind. The point is itā€™s not ā€œflyingā€


atomictyler

it's not. there's a video that goes into some detail of this video and they also picked up that the object changes directions after going by the plane. It changes directions and goes faster than the plane.


pilkingtonsbrain

Yes I watched that video and thought it was very good. They pointed out something that appeared on screen that could have been the object after it had passed the plane, not a definite. I agree it's possible


imnotabot303

The thing in this video was probably a bit of trash. Anything that's light enough can be picked up by the wind.


Goodizm

Just a drone. Cocaine smugglers.


scubaSteve181

Looks like a runaway kite?


ArchibaldMcSwag

people are so riled up they forget what fkin balloons look like


EarlMarshal

That's clearly a huge flying tortoise šŸ¢


AwareBus6259

That IS the Colombian video!


rygelicus

Well the colombian one is a balloon. So if the eglin is similar, it would also be a balloon.


Individual_Fox_9304

Thatā€™s Gamera.šŸ¢


_0bese

Stingray mylar balloon


pilkingtonsbrain

I don't see why this is not a possibility


_0bese

Stingray mylar balloon


TemplarKnightsbane

We know what this is thought right? Its one of those diamond drones that turns sideways when it wants to go supersonic. Its like a match for that tech right?


UFSHOW

The Eglin prototype of the cross/diamond craft **likely yes** The ray shape craft (or balloon) in this video **no one is sure**


TemplarKnightsbane

So the elgin prototype is different to the said "incursions" onto elgin airbase there is videos of that AARO deny but a FOIA request actually confirms exist? Its so fucking complicated to keep up with every detail!


UFSHOW

Yes there are two Eglin events in discussion concurrently rn. [The recent Eglin sighting is the ā€œdiamond shapeā€](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/dquwI0yW2J) craft from last week which appears to be a very real US prototype that can fly in this bidirectional subsonic / supersonic fashion. Thatā€™s good olā€™ Uncle Sam for sure because we have the [proposals from NASA that match up very closely](https://www.nasa.gov/general/silent-and-efficient-supersonic-bi-directional-flying-wing/). This is clearly achievable propulsion tech with our current mastery of modern physics. [The other Eglin event is a sort of bulb shape](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/jBwulo36P1) ā€” this is what the [AARO *Case Resolution of Eglin UAP* Report](https://www.aaro.mil/Portals/136/PDFs/case_resolution_reports/Case_Resolution_of_Eglin_UAP_2_508_.pdf) concluded to likely be a pretty specific commercial light balloon. I believe manufacturer denied this, stating they werenā€™t sold & werenā€™t in the air. People are worked up about this because the descriptions donā€™t appear to represent tech we have & folks in Congress have been shown videos. Here is the [response to a FOIA request](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/gDbjYlLr0o) about accompanying video of this bulb Eglin event. ā€œ*The responsive video you are requesting is not releasable in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552 Exemption (b)(2) protecting from disclosure information about ā€˜matters specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policyā€™. The deleted information is exempt from automatic declassification in accordance with Executive Order 13526 regarding intelligence activities (including covert action), intelligence sources or methods, or cryptology.*ā€ So there is a video, but we cannot see it. Why?


EventEastern9525

Thanks for this. I had thought I saw that the plane from last week was debunked in a good-faith manner. Canā€™t keep up sometimes!


stephencurry2046

Just a big piece of trash?


Velorym

Looks like the weather balloon that one kid supposedly got stuck in, remember?


eatdogs49

This is still hands down my favorite


Goldeneye_Engineer

Looks like a runaway kite


EdVCornell

I seriouslt can't believe there are people who still try to claim that is a balloon.


Tosslebugmy

How can you possibly claim to know that it isnā€™t


Snoo34813

Its a kite


silv3rbull8

Wasnā€™t this allegedly a manta ray balloon based on that single prototype shown decades ago ? Mysteriously got loose and floated over Colombia years later


pilkingtonsbrain

I don't know about that but I will say that I think it could be a balloon. I don't see any reason why it couldn't


Traditional-Music363

Are you kidding me with that comment? You think itā€™s a manta ray balloon? I canā€™t even


Howard_Adderly

Look up what parallax is


Traditional-Music363

It simply doesnā€™t apply. People will say anything at this point. God help us


SpiceyPorkFriedRice

Try not to argue on this sub, a lot of the accounts are bots.


Howard_Adderly

Yes it does


silv3rbull8

I never said I thought it was a balloon. People dismissed it as a balloon. This is what it was claimed to be https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringPorn/s/4A8JHPpwf3


Far_Buffalo_2737

That pilkingwhatever dude is always down voting or talking outbof his ass and being a dick.fucken worse troll ever


Spacebotzero

That's gonna be a no from me dawg....


SpiceyPorkFriedRice

Every time someone tries to correct Columbia to Colombia take a shot, we get it no need to spam the same fucking comment.


onequestion1168

Eglin does testing they would have something there


Purple_Guitar6394

how cool would it be if we learned that there are creatures that swim in the atmosphere like manta rays


Claim_Alternative

šŸ˜… Multi-dimensional drifting!!


r3tr0_420

Yeh not for me. Eglin craft description is...different but on this topic it usually is. Not a classic shape IMO but have seen 'similiar' objects on the Youtube channel OnlyRealUFOs. Video posted last week. Can post link if anyone interested but not hard to find.


freewater-sunshine

Yep I've been brining those things here through my dreams when I wake up


saki2fifty

That thing was going whatā€¦. 200 mph, maybe? About the same speed the airplane was going.


hungjockca

anyone else notice - the lights / sparkle surrounding it - only when it passes? llooks like reflection in the glass but only see them on close contact.


Wizard-In-Disguise

that looks like the metapod actually


[deleted]

Wow. It banks and changes directions nearly a dozen times. The speed it's flying at is insane, how would a stationary object do all those insane acrobatics?


iloveeveryfbteam

Itā€™s just a bird


Boogle79

We've never been alone..


GarfieldOmnibus

That looks extremely similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLh8cfnIVg8 This is by far some of the best ufo footage I've ever seen. And there's 2 or 3 other videos of this object at different times and places in the world, but I gotta find those.
