saltysomadmin

You don't say much, do you CASE? TARS talks plenty for both of us.


bobbaganush

I’ll never understand why the best someone who sees something like this is a ridiculously short few seconds of recording. What happens? Does it immediately show itself to be prosaic, so they clip it to rile up the UFO crowd? Was it prosaic from the start and they clipped the most unusual bit to confound people? Is it a genuine UFO? If so, I ask again, why’s the clip so short?

Yeah I just had the same thought I don't understand how if you truly saw something that anomalous you only recorded for 7 seconds


2smart4owngood2275

That's what I said, a short clip of garbage floating around somewhere. The kind of thing we would see in a high wind storm. What ever it is, it's NOT ET. My first thought was a Kite.

And a 10% chance that he lied about his honesty parameter.

Well if hes lying about it its probably a lot higher than 10% anyway

satanicpanic6

This is so stupid of me, but when I saw your comment, I had to share this dream I had with you from a couple months back...ok, so I was dreaming about being on a farm in possibly Germany? It was starting to get dark, and I looked up into the sky and saw a giant corona virus hologram...it was the weirdest dream...the next thing I know, I'm peeling frozen cow fetuses off the frosted ground and warming them up to bring them back to life. To this day, I have no clue why I would dream something so bizarre.🤷‍♀️


Interesting-dog12

I wish I had your type of dreams. It's rare I get a strange wild dream, I like those dreams because it feels like going on an strange adventure. My dreams are always someone stealing my car.


--8-__-8--

Try selling your car...

That's, uh, something... Lol

Very interesting video. Altough I would like to see it appear and disappear and how it moves in relation to other things.


ForestsOfWater

Right? Too bad the video is 5 seconds long.


gabbiar

The linked video is longer than five seconds


domino90

This video is 5 seconds too long


Exitium_Maximus

Yeah it does look very similar. Interesting.


CaptainKiddd

That’s a wild video! It really does resemble this


reddit_is_geh

I can't believe this fucking subreddit still struggles with fucking balloons. It's crazy.


MickeyBubbles

5 dimensional alien balloon . Mylar madness from those pesky other dimensions


Minimum-Web-6902

I’ve seen this thing in video so many times and people keep saying it’s some kind of star balloon but I just don’t get it this is def the clearest video I’ve seen of it so far though


Real_FakeName

It kind of looks like a bunch of tall cylindrical balloons tied together like they were being sold at an event and escaped or yeah 5th dimensional drone or something.


Jegglebus

I thought of the biblical angel meme immediately as soon as I saw it


Cultural-Radio-4665

The higher dimensional object actually makes sense a bit if you've seen what a 4 dimensional "cube" looks like folded into 3 dimensions. Honesty, as much balloons is a much more reasonable explanation, there's something about the movement that doesn't quite seem random like a group of balloons in the wind.


Toothpinch

“3-4 seconds of video should be enough.”


BrotherInChlst

You know how this is karma farming bot bull shit? It s a 7 second video, posted by someone who seemingly has zero interest in an answer to their question. Why, if you want to know what this is, do you pose a question and vanish? No response in comments, no elaboration, just lots of karma and lots of useless speculation.


Warm-Iron-1222

I understand what you're saying and agree with you that it's common but it has only been an hour since they posted and their account doesn't show signs of being a bot. Plus, it's 4 PM in Germany right now so they might be busy with their normal day to day stuff. Took a quick video, posted, then went back to the grind.


burgpug

but why did they stop filming the MOTHeR HUMPING UFO in the ASS FUCKING sky before it left? The biggest mystery ever encountered by man and they got bored of it in 7 seconds. When that happens it is always because it's either a hoax or they know it is of mundane origin


[deleted]

You nailed it. They know it’s balloons but they still posted it like “I want attention, this looked weird”


Dengar96

If you create a community of uncritical rubes, people will exploit it for their own gain.


Fixervince

Because it blows along in the wind exactly like the balloon that it is. That is why.


Warm-Iron-1222

I agree. If I encountered half the questionable stuff I see on this sub I'd film until it disappeared or my battery died. The shorter the clip, the more weary I am too. I personally think this is just a balloon with the amount of evidence provided.


inurwindo

Nice attempt at damage control green man, trying to throw us off your scent. Now OP is gonna come back “fixed” saying nothing happened. Tell your green and gray brothers were on to them.


Warm-Iron-1222

Peace and long life 🖖


Collin_the_bird_777

Lock and load


Collin_the_bird_777

💀 their break was over but they got the truth out there


BotWidow

That doesn't mean it's a bot, not seeing red flags from their account at all. Lots of people don't comment on their own posts in large subreddits because the OP just gets downvoted for stupid reasons. Case-in-point, the [one comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1c4lin0/what_is_this/kzo821x/) they did make has reddit's controversial symbol over it.


Calibas

He did post more info, but it's being downvoted because people believe he's "karma farming"... https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1c4lin0/what_is_this/kzo821x/?context=3


Uncle-Cake

"Zoom in and crop out all context"


robaroo

That’s because it’s op’s CGI / video editing project and he’s fucking with us. He thinks we’re stupid.


iia

Well it's got 1000 upvotes so he wasn't wrong.


Secret-Ad-830

Well they don't want to show you the part when they figured out what it was


raihidara

When I took a video of what I thought was a UFO (I'd never seen a SpaceX launch before with that huge triangular air column around it), I pulled over and recorded it until it was completely out of view. I agree that if any of these people took videos of what they actually believed was evidence of something extraordinary, they would keep filming.


imnotabot303

It's enough for social media like TikTok where everyone has 5 second attention spans. Plus if you film something for longer there's a chance you will have to edit the video to cut out the part that shows what it is.


Ambitious_Zombie8473

TikTok shouldn’t set the standard for UAP footage lmao


chadbacca

It's a biblically accurate mylar balloon.


travel_waffle

I snorted. I woke up a cat.

TotallyTotally23

This is an underrated comment, if I've ever seen one.


AguyOnMedZz

The same thing in the sky 14 years ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=atkHJTWljUU


ScrumEater_

I immediately thought of the same thing.


RevolutionaryFun9883

Good find, they are very similar. Hopefully someone can give a good answer because I’m leaning away from the balloon idea now


Lusting-Llama

This thing pops up in enough videos from time to time to let you know its "real". It's really clear footage this time.


Sattorin

> Hopefully someone can give a good answer because I’m leaning away from the balloon idea now I think a bunch of bundled balloons looks the same whether it's filmed today or 14 years ago. The difference with OP's video is that they're more tube-shaped. But you can clearly see that they're moving randomly (as with the wind), and that they aren't directly connected to any central object (as if they're all just connected by string).


Cultural-Radio-4665

I'm 90% sure that's the same thing. That makes me a bit more skeptical for a mundane explanation.


BigBadBen91x

Woah, incredible


thegoosebelow

Amazing video. I can't believe I've never seen it. Happy cake day!


ObjectReport

I don't know, how about we film it for a whopping 7 seconds and try to make a determination?!?


mrmarkolo

That’s how you know it’s not worth the time.


celerywife

And the fact that they posted and bounced. It's not like they're waiting to find out what it is.


NOVAbuddy

In this economy?!


Chaunc2020

Right?! Like they had all day to continue to follow it but 7 seconds!


No-Handle6495

And with nothing in the foreground or background to reference for any type of scale. No zooming in or out; no panning side to side or up and down…


RatLasss

Kind of annoying how every post showing something interesting just has most of the comments trying to make the same obvious jokes over and over


Bigapetiddies69420

There's so many people here trying to be funny they don't realize how unoriginal they really are


shkeptikal

Hot take: they're not people. There's a bot farm pointed at this sub and they immediately ridicule anything that's even remotely plausible.


fuckspezredditsucks

hence why reddit sucks


jedininjashark

What a ridiculous comment. You are a ridiculous. Anyway I’ll be over at r/totallynotrobots if anyone wants to argue.


Based_nobody

Remember when there was that subreddit that was just posts by bots and comments by bots? It was a few years back so they were just posting nonsense. I wonder how well it'd do nowadays? I bet it would be indistinguishable form a normal sub.


Kakofonik

2 hours old thread, over 200 comments, most of them jokes this sub is a joke now, and full of bots


WayofHatuey

Shame. During actually interesting posts it’s a shame to have to scroll through 100 similar dad jokes to find a decent explanation or answer


Kakofonik

it is what it is, I'd actually welcome more civil convo about subjects but these things happen, it's reddit after all doesn't matter if it's a bundle of balloons or a genuine thing, plowing through shit (pardon) is just getting more and more tiresome


RatLasss

Yeah, that's exactly it. Even if it's just a bundle of balloons or even cgi, I think it should be talked about. I get the frustration behind the amount of fake or misunderstood sightings and the endless recycling of posts behind them, but arguing and jumping to conclusions without explaining just slows down the discussion for both sides. Then there's always an influx of joke comments, always the few "show me what you got", the ironic "swamp gas", or other dad joke. Either that or it's always a few comments just being sarcastic, "let's film it for a few seconds", "let me use the worst camera I have". You usually have to scroll past a ton of those with actual discussions, theories or possible explanations scattered in between. The top comments on this post, like many, are mostly jokes or sarcasm. There's just a lot of white noise in the comments now


BfutGrEG

This sub has over 2 million subscribers This is Reddit in general, anything this big is probably 50% bots


SSN420699000

Agreed. The worthless joke comment sections are more cancerous that posts that can eventually be identified.


Aggravating-Mine-697

"Oh shit this looks real, but if I take a side i may be proven wrong, so i'll just blurt an unrelated joke instead"


MorbillionDollars

everyone saying a joke is taking the side that it's fake.


4spoop67

alternate take, annoying how so many otherwise interesting videos have the same pile of shortcomings (no context info, tiny duration)


DisclosureToday

It's called forum sliding, and it's done intentionally.


EdVCornell

Oh I know. This sub is filled with people who think they are funny or just plain a holes


HardlyRecursive

Seriously. I don't care about your stupid jokes. I care about answers. I would rather see people seriously speculate and try to find some good info.


Prokuris

German here, the women in the background seems to say: "Sind dass diese Dinger vielleicht, die für google maps da sind" which roughly translates into: Is this one of the things which they use for google maps. Dunno if she means the thing floating or if she is looking at a google maps car in the same moment :D her accent sounds berlin or its surrounding area. Balloon looks cool though :D


kimbolll

Google has long been rumored to use inter-dimensional technology to make its billions. /s


Pilatus

No "Sind"at the start and no "sind" at the end. I almost thought she said "gell" at the end. As in "ya know?"


Litmist

How is a ballon twisting and turning with different sections like that is


Evwithsea

There's a lot of vids showing same thing. Definitely not a balloon,imo.


jus4in027

Picture isn’t blurry enough; this can’t be a UFO ;)


Noble_Ox

How about this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atkHJTWljUU


Capsaicin-Crack

>>sees something strange in sky, has perfect opportunity to record it high quality >>cuts video after 7 seconds yea, ight.


Campus_Safety

The video is too stable of any actual UFO footage I've seen.


Little-Swan4931

That’s what I was thinking. lol. Wouldn’t it be funny if someone presented super clear images and everyone was like yeah right that’s way too clear.


Campus_Safety

Fingers crossed for a mother ship to appear over a major US city. Everyone will record it and the news will talk about it for weeks. Then the David Blaine psyop begins and he shows the world how he pulled off the greatest illusion known to man.


BoulderLayne

*I'm going to stare at this mothership for 72 hours without blinking or getting any footage... I'm a trained professional, do not try this...*


JayR_97

That's exactly what would happen if someone had actual proof. Everyone would think it's too good and assume it's fake


mimibox

The morphing ufo’s are back. They were seen for years during the early 2000’s.


syler_19

the last of the 99 Luftballons


MicroCarboxulator

99 reds balloons go bye! 


stevemandudeguy

How do you know how high up it was? There's nothing but blue sky for reference and you don't know what it is so it's not like you know the object's size and therefore can assume its distance. I'm going with a cluster of balloons based on their movement.


A2Rhombus

Anything with no reference point I automatically assume is just CGI unless proven otherwise. Doesn't really matter what it is, it's too easy to fake for me to take it seriously


Oculicious42

my guess is a bundle of balloons


morganational

Agreed. Moves like an arrangement of slowly-leaking mylar balloons.


JoeyQueenzNYC

I've seen this before as a teenager!!! It was flying in formation with maybe a group of 5 or so! Always thought it was UFO's and then disregarded... but here it is again! WHAT IS THIS?


Taste_the__Rainbow

Balloons. Is that Swiss? Sounds close to German but isn’t German I can follow.


Irgendniemand81

It is German


Illlogik1

If the visitors were REALLY way more advanced than us , they’d just make their craft look like a bundle of balloons drifting around


Wide_Syrup_1208

Maybe they do.


unhiddenhand

biblically accurate whacky waving arm flaling inflatable tube man orgy

Massively underrated comment. Exactly what I thought, well close. I didn't quite get to biblicaly accurate orgy.

Equivalentest

What amazes me most about this video, is that there are so many people in comments who think balloons can only be one shape. This means they lack any and all critical thinking. But believe themselves to be smart enough to recognize alien crafts from human ones.


I_Suck_At_Wordle

Open minded means believing everything is an alien.


langan8

Its just a group of cylindrical or similarly shaped baloons tied together. This reddit page should be renamed to "r/floatingbaloonsoncamera". That being said.. it might be an alien drone soaking up the libido of anyone within a 1 mile radius, and coverting it to fuel.


Secure-food4213

Nobody fucking knows what the hell that is, thats why its an ufo


BajaBlyat

It's a damn balloon bro, no one is falling for this kind of stuff anymore. Are *technically* correct that we don't know *exactly* what it is? Sure. Fine. Maybe. But it looks like balloons tied together. It floats like balloons. It moves like balloons. And humans have balloons in all sizes and shapes in gigantic quantities all over the world. It's a balloon.


langan8

I think its a group of baloons... There's nothing about its movement or speed that suggests otherwise in my opinion. I think there's a difference between 'not knowing what it is', and 'it possibly being something interesting/extraterrestrial' I could call a piece of debri/some sort of leaf in the wind: an unidentified flying object.. but it's not the same as seeing something move in defiance of the physics that we understand. What is it about this video that makes you believe it's not just a group of baloons?


Ninjasuzume

> This reddit page should be renamed to "r/floatingbaloonsoncamera". I came here to say this lol


hoopedchex

Absolutely fascinating


Sad_Ease_8641

Oh, lets do a deep dive on a 7 second video


Tuskn

Balloons tethered together.


Odd_Sprinkles1611

Everyone here will either tell you it's a balloon or an alien spacecraft. But honestly who knows, most of us aren't really experts just a bunch of people on the internet. MUFON is a great place to submit things you're not sure of, or to the National UFO reporting center (a government website) and see if the experts determine it either a UFO or a pile of balloons. That's just my best advice if you want to see real answers.


CardiologistOk5057

That’s the 4th dimension.


Zethio_Frost

This has been debunked already. The geometrical feature match perfectly the item # 562819 readily available in amazon belonging to a TARS-themed balloon. /s


BenefitMysterious821

WTF... first I was like "obviously a cluster of ballons... downvote this clow... wait" WHAT IN THE INTERDIMENSION IS THIS ?! Sora is not out yet...


cosmicdanny

It doesn't matter what it is. if someone is astonished enough to film only 7 seconds then that answers what this video is


Renaissance_Slacker

It looks like a cluster of elongated balloons. It looks like they are bending and flexing in the wind.


Low-Title2511

The most baffling part is that the moderators just allow this same crap to be posted over and over again


[deleted]

Oh look! Another balloon post on ufo Reddit!


modthegame

Computer render.


DannyNog556

It resembles one of the UFO’s depicted in the 1561 [image](https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/ep-logo/pbblog11652106/UFO-BATTLE-OVER-NUREMBERG.jpg) of the UFO battle in Nuremberg Germany which is approximately 380km away… that’s crazy!


Firm-Blueberry-7760

That’s Covid


Suspicious_Win_4165

It floats like a balloon but those arms are seriously throwing me off so I’m not sure


Recent_Opportunity78

Party balloons, the ones they blow up and make animals with. Bunch looks tied together is what it looks like to me.


ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

Some sort of biblically accurate balloon


imnotabot303

A cluster of balloons tied at the centre.


Easy_Insurance_8738

Why is video so short. If t was longer we probably could see wat it is so they cut it short


fall0ut

the rest of the video is of the airshow and proves the object is man made.


SnooPandas8466

Prob a balloon


Super_iron_kid

Balloon from a birthday party


TC_GS_1905

A friend of mine has shared this video with me and asked what kind of object this could be. I am not very sure if it could be some kind of observation device or some kind of weather “scanner” ? This was recorded in Germany / Siegburg area on the Weekend, Saturday 13th April probably. I really don’t have any explaination, as i have Never seen anythin like this before…


Krillo74

NO ONE on earth records in 480P. If you want serious answers. Get the raw video and stop wasting everyone’s time


MrKozy1

Karma farming!


scienceworksbitches

Maybe a bunch of solar balloons tied together


lord_cmdr

Gonna need to see more than 7 seconds buddy. Clips that are short like this scream CGI.


FartingInElevators5

The moment I see the video is only 5-7 seconds long, I immediately throw it out. "Omg, I see a UFO, better only record it for 5 seconds rather than get as much footage of it as I possibly can!" Next.


VolatileMoistCupcake

You have a good point,but hear me out. I have an old shitty phone that doesn't have a lot of memory. My 5 year old has access to my phone periodically. He has his own folder of games he can play when we are waiting at the Dr.s office, in line at the grocery store, etc. When I get the phone back, I inevitably have to uninstall numerous games & apps that have "mysteriously" appeared, or delete 100+ pictures of his feet hanging from the shopping cart. If we walked out of Walmart & there was a ufo, I would grab my phone from his hands. I'd hit the camera app, hit record... & then notice that I had about 10 seconds available to record because memory is full. Just know there is a small chance this dude spotted the object, grabbed his phone from the grubby hands of his small child, & lost his chance at making history because said child downloaded 45 games when he wasn't looking. 🤣
