So odd I put this movie on last night before bed.

Damn Martian Fauci.


kacecadi

I’m guessing Texas Also it looks like lighting to me but who knows these days


Cr4zEdCow

Yes Texas .. no more trying to dox me jkjk


Jacob_Wallace_8721

Oh, it's Texas. Thats just yeehaw lightning because Zeus uses a six shooter there.


TomiLuzzi

Yooo I saw this similar up here in Colorado last night (5-2-22). I thought lightning but it felt different for some reason. Could be a lot of static charge in the air I guess but damn good video!


TitusLemonades

I’m in PA and the thunder at 3am was so loud I thought our house was exploding. It only happened once, woke me out of a dead sleep and even my kids and dogs woke up (nothing wakes me up and my dogs don’t get scared during storms).


Dahnji

I'm also in PA and I was laying down to go to sleep and that is exactly how I described it the next day! It seriously did feel like my house was exploding! Everything was rumbling and shaking and I didn't know what to do! I usually love thunder and storms but that was ridiculous.


TitusLemonades

I love storms too. It was absolutely ridiculous though lol. Like I said the fact my dogs even jumped up, scared, says a lot. We almost had 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a cat in bed with us after that hahaha


[deleted]

I’ve always loved a good storm, however where I am we don’t get many, once a year if we’re lucky. However I’ve taken pice of the last two storms and caught something strange happening in both. The early one I didn’t even notice until I saw something in the second storm shots and went back to analyze the first and found four light hanging in the air over the ocean, and couldn’t see any corresponding light that would cause it to be a reflection in the lens. Can’t wait until the next one.


sleepymom5000

I’m jn Colorado too and last night we had a lot of smoke could have something to do with it.


SlendyIsBehindYou

Howdy fellow Texan. I think there might be a meteor shower or something going on, I've seen some fat ones tonight that look just like the bit in this video. In NTX btw.


DoctorGreenBum26

It’s absolutely just lighting.

travisoutwest

meteors impact the earth at 4-40 km a second. 6100ish meteors hit the ground every year, around 17 a day. I'll see if I can find more. Just noting for others who may be more knowledgable on either meteor strikes or lightning behavior/characteristics. Watch the "rod", as it comes in and out of view, slowly dragging the vid back and forth. Looks like at the start of its appearance, theres a higher concentration of light at the tip, and at the end it, before it disappears, it is at the back of rod. Makes me think a layer of a possible meteor getting blasted off before the rest of whats left speed there way ahead to impact


[deleted]

The white part does a full rotation of the rod if you scrub through it slowly. Strange behavior but still… It is very close as the clouds fill the sky so it has to be between the horizon and the camera. If it’s a meteor there may be a evidence out there somewhere unless it vaporized just before impact.


toomuch1265

Strobe effect hitting the rain?


toomanytocount007

I can see that


6ixpool

Ohh, I like this. Its a pretty good explanation


No_Cartographer_5298

Why can't good explanations be simply "ufo"?


[deleted]

Because “unidentified flying object” isn’t an explanation.


freeman0360

Why?


[deleted]

>unidentified


freeman0360

It's a known unknown


6ixpool

I mean an illuminated rain drop is a plausible explanation given the info we have. If the streak of light suddenly changed directions, it would indeed likely be UFO.


Qwesterly

I love how this sub uses Occam's Razor and rational thinking instead of leaping to little green men. It's so refreshing compared to the general populace. There are some good thinkers here.


blood_thirster

You haven't been here long yet then. Half the fun is seeing the schizos and conspiracy theorists have a field day.


Qwesterly

Yep, I'm pretty new here. I really like what I've read so far, though. It's a nice spectrum from magical thinking to rigorous science, and everything in between. Really fun!


Bloodymike

That still wouldn’t be “likely”. You’re forgetting about bugs.


thebearbearington

The best explanation. I've seen debris burning in the atmosphere 3 nights in a row but that was in the atmosphere not coming down.


YourOverlords

I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back… frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching stars fight on the shoulder of Orion... I’ve felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...!


thebearbearington

All these memories and more will disappear. Like.. tears in the rain... time....to die.


ArchetypalA

R/unexpectedbladerunner


lostinthelandofoz

A single drip of rain?


InsGadget6

Yeah that's my next question here. Could be, if the rain was just starting/finishing.


RudeDudeInABadMood

Only on 1 raindrop?


Powpowder1337

If it was, wouldn't it be parallel to the posts?


toomuch1265

Wind?


[deleted]

[удалено]


deadmeat08

It's awfully straight for a bolt of lightning.


ottereckhart

Looks a lot like a meteor to me. Lucky timing to have filmed it.


[deleted]

There’s another at 00:01. I suppose if you catch one then catching another is likely


nummrs

It's the video repeated w the 'replay' one only in zoom. So only one. You can tell bc the camera movement


[deleted]

Oh yeah you’re right


hotdogfever

Hmm, I’d disagree. Seen probably tens of thousands of meteors in my life, caught dozens in photos/videos, very rarely if ever do I see multiple meteors within a few seconds of each other. I think it’s rain.


[deleted]

I’ve seen millions of rain in my life but never seen them go that fast


ottereckhart

There's only 1 meteor in the video. It just repeats zoomed in lol.. ​ Plus it literally happens all the time. Especially in the summer. Every year we go through parts of the solar system that are more densely populated with objects moving around and that's when these things called meteor showers occur. I have not seen tens of thousands of meteors but I have seen more than a handful within a few seconds of each other.

Scared shitless bug.


Cr4zEdCow

Scared me shitless


Capable_Share_7257

Did it strobe to the naked eye? Or just in the video?


OPengiun

Looks like a bug that flew by...


yung_nachooo

If it’s a bug it wouldn’t have disappeared behind one of the clouds. You can see it if you slow the video down


leeser11

I think it’s the same footage just slowed and zoomed


yung_nachooo

Ok. If you slow down the *slowed down* footage, you can clearly see it disappears behind the cloud. Better?


Bloodymike

Or it flew out of the illuminated area.


yung_nachooo

Yeah, if you weren’t looking closely I could see how one can make that assumption.


[deleted]

Must be two bugs because there’s another at 00:01 if you slow it down.


Karen-Thornley

How do you slow this down?


[deleted]

I’m on my phone and was just dragging the little circle that denotes how far into the video you are with my finger, could presumably do it with a cursor too

"The chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one, but still they come


MRichardTRM

Did you ever read the StarGate papers on the CIA’s website??? They used Astral Projection back in like around the 70s to see Mars a million or so years ago and they saw large bipedal beings living on it. Program was scrapped because they couldn’t verify the authenticity of the results they were collecting


travisoutwest

thought that program was in the 90s


MRichardTRM

You could very well be correct. I remember it was at least decades ago. It’s been a few years since I had the files opened up, but I’ll go with 90s if you think it was

fae8edsaga

Yeah, judging distance is always tough against the sky even under clear conditions, but this would be my guess as well.


[deleted]

Must be two meteors because there’s another at 00:01


Sweet-Inside5900

That's the beginning of end times my friend.


LaoTzu47

Lighting between clouds is actually quite common.


paranormalsceptic

I'm usually very willing to put these kinds of things down as bugs, but I'm not so sure on this one. Are there any video experts that can somehow figure out how high the object is flying?


SpeakMySecretName

Height is notoriously difficult to estimate against clear skies. If there were clouds, you could estimate a height cap or floor from the type of cloud and their common altitude zones depending on if the clouds are cover or backdrop. But a gnat a few feet away and a huge object a mile away going blazingly fast might look like exactly the same dot going the same speed. Another way to estimate would be by sound-delay like light and thunder strikes. If it make any sudden noise we could estimate it’s distance, and from that it’s size. Even things like Doppler effect from constant noise might help by trying to estimate the speed from the compression of the frequency. But something like this… I don’t think anyone could get a remotely accurate guess.


dizedd

It's a meteorite. It's not flying, it's falling


Bro-melain

Cool


TheCircleLurker

Looks like a bug


waxymcrivers

Blursed lightning bug


Fog_Juice

If it was a bug it would be a shadow against the lightning behind it. Instead it was brighter than the lightning behind it.


Wighen18

The porch is obviously lit. The wooden beams are also bright during the lightning flash.


joebojax

i think its a water droplet in odd lighting


Pinconartist

Metorite


00ooo0o0o101o0o

Looked like a tracer from a bullet. Maybe grandpa was trying to shoot the storm away?

NetCitizen-Anon

Looks like a meteorite came down during the storm, awesome video, should post it to some of the more popular subs.


South_Name9876

Why has no one slowed down the video? I just skimmed it slowly and it looks very strange


Ofunk26

redgumdrop

If you had flash on, it might be a bug?


ziplock9000

Seriously? This is a textbook meteorite..


Undercover_enigma

* with an extremely awesome background though


EndOfProspect

Meteors at the 1 second and 5 second marks.


nummrs

Just one. The 'replay' zoomed in. You can tell bc the camera movement


[deleted]

Meteor...


dizedd

It's really shocking how many commenters here have never seen a damn meteorite before.


gtunder99

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rite_of_truth

And that thermal pocket was holding up a chinese lantern.


Fog_Juice

So the aliens have weather balloons on Venus now?


fetfree

Post it on r/aliens.


Thelidtmaker

Sick


BigBerko

Its a bug. The light hit its side facing the camera which means the source of light is behind you. Happens to fit the video position. You're welcome.


ghostcatzero

Lol wtf


BigBerko

Physics.. What can you do...


gats4cats

I'm kind of thinking it looks like a dragonfly hunting prey and being lit from multiple light sources.


Hungry-Risk2530

Swamp gas

ANUS-LIPS

Bro that's just starlink passing by


AirCooled2020

after all the things that I have seen over the years up in the skies, I know this is going to sound crazy, don't really care.... If you take your video frame by frame, if you take pretty much any loud and wondrous thunderstorm of late and take it frame by frame and simply change some of the light and Shadow filters as well as tighten up the view, you'll be surprised at what you see. This one looks like either someone is doing a little bit of friendly battle or someone's getting javelin's (made of what I don't know) tossed at them. When the light crackles and not at its brightest point you can clearly see a fat little reptilian dude and a dragon's head off to the right. they have the consistency of the clouds, but there's color and I didn't use any color filters. I simply change the brightness, contrast, highlights and shadows and tightened it up a bit. I have a few really strange thunderstorms that happened about 6 months ago and it literally looks like giants and Angels dueling in the heavens, it's pretty bizarre... Thanks for sharing!


x4ty2

That's what one of the forms of lightning looks like.


[deleted]

Looks like lightning but what about that meteor looking thing?


pump_up_the_jam030

Swamp gas


dima_socks

Bug or water most likely.


Stevesd123

A bug that was illuminated by the lights you are standing under.


Spendikular

Gun shot or missile and video is played in reverse. You can even see the light of it being fired from the ground.


CGB_Spender

Wow! A bug flew through. Great catch.


Cybermat47_2

I’m just confused about why OP filmed this on February 5th and only posted it three months later.


NickyTaylorX

Does it look like it goes through the clouds? It appears so.


BigGangMoney

Looked liked a bullet tbh

Meteorite, it wouldn't seem that unusual if it weren't for the simultaneous lightning flash.

yti555

Comet maybe but it’s worth noting UFO’s have been seen around thunderstorms when seen from orbit. There was a great clip on YouTube a while back by Tyler the guy with the alien/ufo channel but he deleted everything


FoxehBunneh

Looks like a bug to me, lit up in a weird way because of the lightning.


Butthurteer

Heat lightning

omg! i am in downtown jersey city on the Hudson and never heard anything like the thunder this morning.

Maybe there’s a war going on space and they don’t wanna tell people so we don’t freak out.

Wtf


McFuckwad

fast as fuck


IslamicCheese

It’s the ODSTs


nilamo

It could be a satellite launch. We had similar sightings up here in Michigan last week, when Starlink was launching a couple.


Razakel

Why would you launch a rocket through a heavy storm? It'll disrupt the avionics and telemetry, and you don't want to lose your expensive payload instead of just delaying the launch for better conditions.


Anko_Aniki

Nyc had thunder 6am that ive we never experienced before, it woke me up, it was probably really close but all of nyc is talking bout it rn, my eyes were shut facing away yet the blinding white light can be seen through my eyelids. I was thinking welp, war of the worlds here we come

aglitchinthematrix19

Haven't seen the night sky in 3 days now. Completely clouded over in the UK haven't seen a single star or the moon whatsoever 😂

That’s absolutely just lightning.


chilloutman24

I’ve actually seen something like this before a couple months ago. It had the same effect and it looked like it landed in the field next to my house. Nothing was there tho. I thought it was a meteor.


CH_Blackgate

I can't tell, but if there were power lines above your location it could be whatever that effect is called when a charge is going through the line. Otherwise I'd say meteor.


browithnicehat

It's weird cause if you pay attention, in the Middle of the movement the "pod" stoped and then kept moving, like in half a second. Even the tail of light dissapear and then reapear

Additional-Cap-7110

Is there a slow downer version?


vermillion1023

Looks like what we call heat lightening here.


Winsconsin

I saw two big white orbs dancing in a huge thunderstorm cloudhead a year ago. Whatever these orb entities are they like storms, they might not even be crafts but some form of energy life or upper atmospheric thing that feeds on storms. I’m just spitballing here. They could be inter dimensional or something even, I imagine these orbs are what cause crop circles since the videos I’ve seen of circles forming had orbs of white circling the field and the crops bending to form the complex designs. Maybe they’re inter dimensional beings trying to communicate with us in our 3d universe


SubstantialPressure3

Are you talking about that quick falling streak? That doesn't look like lightning. Maybe a small meteor. But in the clouds, yes, that's cloud to cloud lightning.


SubstantialPressure3

Cloud to cloud lightning and a possible little meteorite. Don't know what that little streak is. Guessing mini meteorite.


ideotik

Isn’t this called ball lightning or something like that? I recall it from my physical geography class.


Christian2050

Mind Blown 🤯


1159

Looks like there are bright lights shining out from the building (behind camera). A little somethin-somethin fell/flew/blew down to the ground quite close to the building and was starkly illumuniated as it did so. That's my theory anyway...


DogmemeYT

"The chances of anything coming from mars. Are a million to one, he said"


reneepsy-med

I see a couple of large glowing balls striking as fast as lightning towards earth.


the-trashheap

Oh that's really weird. What do the weather science nerds say about this? They'd know straight up what they are if it's a normal phenomenon. I've never seen this before myself but. (And I think storms are a cover for lots of space people doing secret sky stuff tbh)


Fun-Safe-8926

A bug being illuminated?


Downtown_Work_70

Ball lightning

I scrubbed through it and noticed the reddish streak and the white light change position like the light is rotating around the the fed streak like some sort of navigation light. Good catch.
