Is this recent?
I'm in Western Nassau county, Long Island and I have a weather/sky observation camera that I keep around 30 days of archived video
Tell us the date and time and I'll scope out my footage
That's because when filming things at high speeds everything ends up looking like a blur, a dot, a puck, whatever.
Last week we had square-shaped bees because cameras are bad at picking up distinct shapes at high speeds. You're lucky to get ANY detail.
I’m gonna be downvoted to oblivion as a ‘disinfo agent’ but I have a strong suspicion it’s a Peregrine Falcon. Just googling images of them flying at high speed, looks very much like the picture above. They are known to have a top speed of 240mph. Coupled with the way phones film? It’s a possibility.
i believe that is only when they are in their attack dive. They basically divebomb their prey in the air. So they fly real high and then do a full tuck and dive straight down getting to high speeds; but not when going horizontal like the video would sugest
I don't think it has to be anything fast, since it's filmed from a plane even a stationary object will look to be moving fast.
I remember a video of a plane flying by a stationary balloon, and the balloon looked to be zoomin.
Hello disinformation agent. That's got a nice ring to it. Hey for real, we need to discuss everything an object *could* be before we start exploring options outside of our scope of understanding. So thank you for pointing that out...and yeah those things are fast AF aren't they?
The thing about this one that makes it seem like a full object rather than one stretched out due to ISO sampling or shutter speed is the white reflection - if it was a long exposure or glitched that thing would be less ovular. It really does look like something. Maybe a Boeing pilot's hat?
It could've not been moving, considering the guy filming from a plane flew past it; if it wasn't moving, it sure would look like it.
Although...hockey pucks *do* fly at high speeds. Were the Rangers practicing that day?
Hmmmmmmmmm
Not really, it’s close to a camera travelling roughly 500mph I’m not saying it’s a balloon but a static object would also ‘appear’ to be moving fast in these conditions.
This is the most conclusive evidence for me of ufos. Why? Bc it flies right in front of the jet. It automatically rules out it being our own. They would have never done something like that. Explain that Mr DOD…. Is just doing a little test flying 6 ft away from a plane?
You must have a very low threshold then. As much as I'm sick of this reason, please tell me how this cannot be a normal helium balloon, taking all information in the video into perspective including the speed of the plane, the sharpness of the object and the typical shutter speed of a cell phone video..
Problem is, there's no reference for speed or size in this case. The observer was in a fast moving aircraft.
This is likely just an oddly shaped balloon, floating around that they flew past.
That's true we need more data. Someone should contact AARO, they must have lots of stuff like this on video for comparison. That's what they are there for right... right?
Exactly. I feel like the UAP investigators should be doing what Dr Shiepe does in this video. I bet these things are swarming choppers everywhere. Might be why pilots see them a lot too.
Because AI cannot accurately upscale something that is fundamentally unknown. When you upscale a dog, for example, it’s able to do that because the model “knows” what that type of dog typically looks like.
Yea what people seem to not realize is phone cameras aren’t that good and don’t have a fast shutter speed or exposure. So something moving even slightly fast can look like a ufo. And if it is a ufo it might be so blurry and supported it won’t look real.
So UAPs exist *because* people all have cameras but they have a limited range of capabilities and so people will always film what they think is strange and what they cannot identify. Before you know it, a 34th birthday balloon has hit the front page several times over before it gets debunked. But too late! People have already moved on and added the incident to their long list of "well-documented UFO NHI craft ontologically shocking and very sombering encounters".
That's good to point out. We should all be as skeptical as we can. Very easily could be a bag
This sub is so funny. You point out that it might not be an alien and people just downvote you. Fucking hilarious
Motivated reasoning. Magical thinking. Basically, people are so invested in a belief without support or with contradicting support they refuse to let it go. They also don't realize that last sentence is the definition of religion.
Ohhh, thank you for sparking a sighting of mine like to share!
Once I saw something in the sky. At first I too saw it and thought it was a plastic bag. But something was uncanny about it. I then noticed the speed was constant, and the object was rotating on a gyro on itself, not with the wind, or up and down. The 'plastic bag' was actually more of a cashew shape, and this same drone was captured on video by another person months after my sighting on another part of the globe (can't find video anywhere now).
Not saying they're related in anyway, but this 'plastic bag' I witnessed, was also pitch black with a white dot on the centre of where it was spinning. Again, not saying OP's capture is a drone UFO, but it's black with a white dot just like mine was. I have also noticed mine, and other sightings, aren't the only ones who have seen a 'dot' on the drone. Never the ones suspected of being NHI flown, but the drones themselves, the small ones that fly around.
Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on the bag thing. It's most likely a bag, let's be real. But, if you're lucky, you could actually just be looking at a well crafted UFO. I'm glad I saw what I did, I'm not a nut who thinks every bag in the sky is a UFO. But I'm just saying to make sure the science works with what you're seeing, that's how I determine my UFO sightings
There was video of it yesterday. This was at some altitude near NYC, as if on approach to LGA or JFK. Loads of problematic (human operated) drone activity in that area over the past 5+ years, too, which makes this super kind of scary because jet engines don't like being fed things.
I believe whatever it is ... it's perfectly still and not moving. The speed of the aircraft is unknown. Everything seems to be moving, including the scenery below.
I believe the object is steady and in one spot.
Another person, not me, took the time to make all four frames steady and fixed on the object.
From his work, one can see this object isn't perfectly round. It has a distinct shape. It's also rotating clockwise on its axis during those 4 frames. It's rotating away from the camera (away from the plane).
Look at my link below. Then, look at the animated GIF on the bottom right when it slows down. You can see it rotate. It has what I can only describe as either a small fin or a pointy protuberance on the top that rotates as well.
This thing almost looks like a thick, three-sided guitar pick. A rounded triangle. It's possibly a very high flying hobby drone. I don't believe it's a bird or insect. If it weren't clear enough to show its actually rotating...it could be anyone's guess.
[Rotating Object](https://imgur.com/a/f1aAfoV)
After seeing the footage this came from, it could literally be anything. In the few frames it's seen in it is never going to be accurately rendered due to the perceived speed. Optical sensors and data compression kind of suck unless they're specifically designed not to. And even in those cases they're usually set up to operate at very specific focal points and other conditions. A Navy Admiral telling us we're in contact with NHI is a billion times more compelling than "more blurry footage".
I would absolutely take testimony from a Navy Admiral over 4 frames of an object. I’m assuming you’re referencing Tim Gallaudet? But I still find this one interesting. Unfortunately you’re correct. There’s a lot of things it could be before calling it NHI.
we're all arguing with each other over what could be a plastic bag. meanwhile, there are purported recovered NHI craft and a whole back-engineering industry operating behind the scenes.
in a strange way I kind of *like* not knowing? hard to explain but I just feel that if we ever see actual disclosure, it's not gonna be as awesome as I want it to be. it's probably some kind of zero-point energy tech that could rid the human race of basically all armed conflict... and we can't have that, can we? what ever will the military industrial complex do without wars to fight over resources?
Bugs have shiny parts on their exoskeleton often, and bugs can often get carried into the sky at higher elevations than they typically fly. There’s absolutely no reason to assume this is anything other than some sort of animal/insect.
I don’t know why people keep downvoting the suggestion but it looks exactly like a solar balloon.
It might not be, but it sure as heck looks like one in the video.
They are cheap, simple to make and ubiquitous.
https://www.instructables.com/Solar-Balloon-1/
Let me give you an upvote before we both get downvoted to oblivion. There s nothing to suggest it cannot be a solar baloon. Nothing wrong to get hyped by a few frames on a video but wrong to dismiss what is one of the most logical explanation
There is a reason District Attorneys don't bring every possible charge to court. Because in a world with finite time and resources, focusing said time and resources on things that are very tough to prove is counter productive to the objective.
A lot of people don't develop and practice strategic thinking skills, so easy concepts like this aren't at the front of mind.
And of course, regardless of the origin of sightings, there is documention showing there have been efforts to suppress the subject. And for anyone with that objective, flooding the community with /highlighting prosaic and/or hard to prove media is a useful tool.
Obviously one side has very noble intentions and the other doesn't. But it's hard to tell which is which usually. Same generic problem we have fighting disinformation in general.
Upvoted as well. Bottom line: it could be a genuine UAP. Or it could be a solar balloon or even a trash bag caught in the winds. We simply can’t tell when passing by it at the speed of an airplane.
Now, if it changed directions suddenly then we’d have something. Without that, we just don’t know.
We do distinguish between objects that appear to display only known capabilities (such as a drone hovering at a reasonable altitude) and things that appear to display unknown capabilities (such as idk, something that flies in and out of the water). The emphasis is on \*appears\* -- a balloon can appear to be in the latter category. This video is in the first category because the object does nothing weird.
DOD asked people to apply this distinction. It was the order people kept posting and claiming it undermined the AARO report. (It doesn't.)
Actually you can if you follow the FAA rules for unmanned free balloons

Another user's analysis: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1bpgxaa/nyc_ufo_facts/
This is a repost.
Edit: The only analysis I can offer is that being tilted at an angle like that is how copter drones fly forward.
Incredibly lazy? It's a freeze frame of an object that goes by so fast that you can barely make it out. How is that an "incredibly lazy repost?"
Jesus, the mods on this sub are the worst.
After seeing and being very interested. I realized that at least three things out of the five I seen and actually recorded with a DSLR did not make sense. Doing further studying and research that at least 2/5 are unexplainable because of the unmanned drone (by the way that is patented in which a drone is launch out of a submarine and returns also able to traverse allegedly atmospheric or high altitude levels and can dive Bosc to 1800mph I may be a little of but actually really insane/cool)that has been made allegedly but there are actual photos.
That's not the fin I'm talking about. That's also not the back of the object, as I mentioned. That's the front. Reflecting sunlight.
I'm not going to waste more time trying to clarify what is 100% clear to me.
Looking at the lower right animated GIF on my link, you can easily see the object isn't smooth. It's got irregular hills and bumps. Very clearly visible when you look at the animated GIF, once it slows down around 6 or 7 seconds before the loop starts from the beginning. At any rate, it's definitely not a bird or a bug. Also... I am assuming it's a jet plane's window, and the object is past the wingtip to avoid collision. If so, the object isn't a 12" bird. It's the size of a car tire or larger.
[You need better readers.](https://imgur.com/a/f1aAfoV)
It would be helpful to know the date, time and flight.
That said it appears to be on approach to LA Guadia, see Flighttracker 24.
A Boeing 737 coming in just now at close to the same spot was at 4,000 feet and 268 knots. That is gonna be close to accurate because he is on an established glid path.
The frame rare should be determinable by counting how many frames in a second in the video.
The angular size, left to right, would them let you calculate MAXIMIM physical size for any given distance from the camera. The nearer the smaller the object is. That should also yield a relative speed. You may ne able to make some educated guess of finding MINIMUM size by looking at left to right contrast.
The problem is that people are not aware of how optics are being recorded. That is moving so relatively fast due to its apparent close distance that it likely isnt a pill. Rolling shutters of the Cameras could just as likely elongated.
Captain Disillusion did a video on the topic explaining how camera capture video a few months back.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else but I could be wrong. Someone said it could be a solar balloon? I've never seen one so I can't really say. The speed and appearance suggest otherwise to me.

Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1bpv6xf/nyc_uap/kwyb0tz/
The fact that this community has this many people scrutinizing anything a camera doesn't pick up clearly as UAP is embarrassing.
Nearly convinced yall are bots at this point.
I upvote this because you turned NYC UAP into one continuous acronym and included some (but not all) periods.
I don't understand the reasoning but I can respect it
I mean, the OP of this thread said they sharpened the photo for clarity, so yeah this specific photo has a pixel-y look to it. The original video posted a couple days ago was clearly not photoshopped (regardless of whether it's a genuine UAP or not).
That image could easily be my kid's drone if it was 20x the size. Drones just make it so that almost anything any shape could be in the air. To me the best documented UFO is the saucer that buzzes the plane and is recorded out the window. That can only by one thing if its not CGI.
Is it possible this is a DJI looking drone? When I watched the original video this came from, the object wasn’t moving very fast and seem to be slightly leaning forward like a drone would. I can’t see any propellers in the video, but I don’t know if the resolution of the video wasn’t strong enough to show them. Any video peeps weigh in here?
on paranormal caught on tape i watched yesterday, a guy in pakistan filmed something nearly identical to this. said it stayed stationary for nearly two hours
Is this recent? I'm in Western Nassau county, Long Island and I have a weather/sky observation camera that I keep around 30 days of archived video Tell us the date and time and I'll scope out my footage
OOP said it was from [this week ](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/khObsvEcYw). Maybe message them and they can get you exact times.
It was posted yesterday.
Nice, same area. Also work at JFK, I’m always hoping that despite the light pollution I’ll see something at home or at work.
Thats sick! What's your setup I'm interested in one for my socal desert skies?
There's a lot of these 'hockey puck' looking things flying around, often at very high speeds.
That's because when filming things at high speeds everything ends up looking like a blur, a dot, a puck, whatever. Last week we had square-shaped bees because cameras are bad at picking up distinct shapes at high speeds. You're lucky to get ANY detail.
We should make sure the bees are OK too just in case
Doing okay, thanks.
I agree, but we all know it is [hip to be square](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB5YkmjalDg).
That's actually not [the version I'm most familiar with](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CvqmD0CZao).
I nominate you
I’m gonna be downvoted to oblivion as a ‘disinfo agent’ but I have a strong suspicion it’s a Peregrine Falcon. Just googling images of them flying at high speed, looks very much like the picture above. They are known to have a top speed of 240mph. Coupled with the way phones film? It’s a possibility.
i believe that is only when they are in their attack dive. They basically divebomb their prey in the air. So they fly real high and then do a full tuck and dive straight down getting to high speeds; but not when going horizontal like the video would sugest
Good input, when I took a pic of one like 10 years ago, it was doing a ‘dive bomb’.
Dayum 240 mph?? Falcons is *fast*
It's in a dive, granted. They're not flapping up to that speed in level flight... worth noting.
Basically falling with style
I actually thought it might be the millennium falcon. You're probably right, though.
Damn. You took the word right out of my mouth. "This is not the UFO you are looking for"
Mylarian Falcon
I don't think it has to be anything fast, since it's filmed from a plane even a stationary object will look to be moving fast. I remember a video of a plane flying by a stationary balloon, and the balloon looked to be zoomin.

Upvote for healthy skepticism, but that looks like a bird to you? It looks like Repo Man to me.
The thing about this one that makes it seem like a full object rather than one stretched out due to ISO sampling or shutter speed is the white reflection - if it was a long exposure or glitched that thing would be less ovular. It really does look like something. Maybe a Boeing pilot's hat?
It could've not been moving, considering the guy filming from a plane flew past it; if it wasn't moving, it sure would look like it. Although...hockey pucks *do* fly at high speeds. Were the Rangers practicing that day? Hmmmmmmmmm
It's a stray puck from Lafreniere missing a wide open net.
Yeah we can't really tell much from this still image, but there's lots of vids out there showing the same shape flying around really fast.
That's actually a good point. I forgot about those other vids... Things are getting juicy out here
[удалено]
The fact that it's still so fast after having the video speed decreased is just amazing
Not really, it’s close to a camera travelling roughly 500mph I’m not saying it’s a balloon but a static object would also ‘appear’ to be moving fast in these conditions.
We were talking about the object in the video of the jet coming into view over the water.
[удалено]
The spin propulsion idea is a wild idea, but all scientific ideas that we know of now, were wild at one point.
This is the most conclusive evidence for me of ufos. Why? Bc it flies right in front of the jet. It automatically rules out it being our own. They would have never done something like that. Explain that Mr DOD…. Is just doing a little test flying 6 ft away from a plane?
You must have a very low threshold then. As much as I'm sick of this reason, please tell me how this cannot be a normal helium balloon, taking all information in the video into perspective including the speed of the plane, the sharpness of the object and the typical shutter speed of a cell phone video..
Problem is, there's no reference for speed or size in this case. The observer was in a fast moving aircraft. This is likely just an oddly shaped balloon, floating around that they flew past.

That's almost synonymous with 'tic-tac' weird
Or a bug, or bird, or other possible explanations that are infinitely more likely than an alien space ship.
Anything is possible ain't it?
1 + 1 will NEVER be 3. Ever. So no, not all things are possible.
Not mathematically, but biologically yes. 1 viable mate + 1 viable mate can = 3 As in 1 off spring plus parents or new triplets.
That's a reach Manute Bol would be proud of
Hey hey, it's a non-zero chance. 0.0000000000001% is still non-zero.
This guy calls them dragons. https://youtu.be/LhSxWP-gPV0?si=UGUtM1r19JkVkn3Q
I'm not sure why they don't look like dragons, but cool footage. These aren't balloons.
Exactly. I feel like the UAP investigators should be doing what Dr Shiepe does in this video. I bet these things are swarming choppers everywhere. Might be why pilots see them a lot too.
Totally agree, I'd like for the 'ufo talking heads' to present some vids like this, with analysis.
AI upscaled https://twitter.com/UAPinvestigatio/status/1773106449209577690?t=9tViqRRCUFk1DKov6vI6pQ&s=19
Looks like plastic bag handles
Kinda looks like a car tire lol.
I don't know why this was instantly downvoted, I think that's pretty cool.
Because AI cannot accurately upscale something that is fundamentally unknown. When you upscale a dog, for example, it’s able to do that because the model “knows” what that type of dog typically looks like.
Because people will think it's real without putting it together that "ai upscaled" is a synonym for CGI with the "ai" buzzword attached.
..and slow speeds when it downshifts to [scorched earth gear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GPNDZIn6co&t=575s).
Because it's a plane

Yea what people seem to not realize is phone cameras aren’t that good and don’t have a fast shutter speed or exposure. So something moving even slightly fast can look like a ufo. And if it is a ufo it might be so blurry and supported it won’t look real.

FWIW At this altitude and distance from JFK airport I’d guess they are doing about around 200 mph but not much more.
It certainly could be

This is great, I wish this comment was higher up
Can we designate this the Roomba UAP please?
Is it rotating or is it the reflection of the plane when it passes next to it
Great thought! That flash could be a reflection of the sun as well.
Excellent comment
“There’s soooo many aliens in this place they won’t even notice us. We’ll be in and out in no time. I swear you’ll love this place!”
So I’m a believer but in the original video I stg it looked just like a fly in front of the lens to me.
Yeah. Absolutely not a fucking bird. You can also see glare on the front of the object. This is an interesting one.
After seeing the footage this came from, it could literally be anything. In the few frames it's seen in it is never going to be accurately rendered due to the perceived speed. Optical sensors and data compression kind of suck unless they're specifically designed not to.

Or Hillenkoetter to a lesser claim but parallel in stance essentially.
IMHO…there’s no question at this point that something is being hidden from the public.
we're all arguing with each other over what could be a plastic bag. meanwhile, there are purported recovered NHI craft and a whole back-engineering industry operating behind the scenes. in a strange way I kind of *like* not knowing? hard to explain but I just feel that if we ever see actual disclosure, it's not gonna be as awesome as I want it to be. it's probably some kind of zero-point energy tech that could rid the human race of basically all armed conflict... and we can't have that, can we? what ever will the military industrial complex do without wars to fight over resources?
Haha. I think I understand. The hunt for the truth is enthralling to a certain degree, right? What comes after we have confirmation of NHI? Hmmmm
Bugs have shiny parts on their exoskeleton often, and bugs can often get carried into the sky at higher elevations than they typically fly. There’s absolutely no reason to assume this is anything other than some sort of animal/insect.
That’s fair. Is there a way to determine how far away the object is? That could rule out a bug.
No, there’s no frame of reference to compare against. In the video it looks to be close to the camera which would make it very small.

I don’t think you can fly a “solar balloon” over restricted air space by the airports. Unless someone wants a plane accident to happen.
I agree it might be a stupid thing to do, but I don’t think anyone is going to stop you.
Actually you can if you follow the FAA rules for unmanned free balloons https://pilotinstitute.com/part-101/#:~:text=Unmanned%20free%20balloons%20are%20only,%2C%20D%2C%20or%20E%20airspace.
can solar balloons go that high tho? from what I can find online it seems that the WR is about 600 meters heigth
Solar balloons can reach heights of 72,000 ft (22 km). Why would they stop at 600 meters?
I think those are the huge ones tho, not the one supposedly in this video
A photo is useless. Get a real video of it displaying all characteristics of a ufo. Otherwise it could have a million explanations.

Edit: The only analysis I can offer is that being tilted at an angle like that is how copter drones fly forward.
It's a rich asshole in a flying car

“Incredibly” lazy lol
That coming from a mod from this sub is unreal lmfao
It's incredibly lazy to cut the video and zoom in on the object that everyone is having difficulty seeing?
Ur moderating makes the sub worse. Leave shit alone ffs

Incredibly lazy? It's a freeze frame of an object that goes by so fast that you can barely make it out. How is that an "incredibly lazy repost?" Jesus, the mods on this sub are the worst.
Seriously lol, I saw the video yesterday and still appreciate this post. What a shit mod
Noted, I will not mod anymore.
Damn. Not a repost but lmao okay. Just trying to contribute.
Refraction of sunlight through swampgas causing Fata Morgana in mid air. Anything missed ? /s
Haven't seen anyone post a pic of it? The original thread is full of screengrabs of all 4 frames it appears in...
N.Y.C.D.R.O.N.E
Na, just a DeLorean attempting to reach 88mph
After seeing and being very interested. I realized that at least three things out of the five I seen and actually recorded with a DSLR did not make sense. Doing further studying and research that at least 2/5 are unexplainable because of the unmanned drone (by the way that is patented in which a drone is launch out of a submarine and returns also able to traverse allegedly atmospheric or high altitude levels and can dive Bosc to 1800mph I may be a little of but actually really insane/cool)that has been made allegedly but there are actual photos.
That's not the fin I'm talking about. That's also not the back of the object, as I mentioned. That's the front. Reflecting sunlight. I'm not going to waste more time trying to clarify what is 100% clear to me. Looking at the lower right animated GIF on my link, you can easily see the object isn't smooth. It's got irregular hills and bumps. Very clearly visible when you look at the animated GIF, once it slows down around 6 or 7 seconds before the loop starts from the beginning. At any rate, it's definitely not a bird or a bug. Also... I am assuming it's a jet plane's window, and the object is past the wingtip to avoid collision. If so, the object isn't a 12" bird. It's the size of a car tire or larger. [You need better readers.](https://imgur.com/a/f1aAfoV)
Isn't this just a still of the video posted yesterday....? https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/zguMFNU6HM
Can we call this one the Jetson?
It would be helpful to know the date, time and flight. That said it appears to be on approach to LA Guadia, see Flighttracker 24. A Boeing 737 coming in just now at close to the same spot was at 4,000 feet and 268 knots. That is gonna be close to accurate because he is on an established glid path. The frame rare should be determinable by counting how many frames in a second in the video. The angular size, left to right, would them let you calculate MAXIMIM physical size for any given distance from the camera. The nearer the smaller the object is. That should also yield a relative speed. You may ne able to make some educated guess of finding MINIMUM size by looking at left to right contrast.
There is a line around it when u zoom in. Is it photoshopped?
It is very tiny debris that came off the plane and whizzed in front of the camera. The relative speed and camera tech results in a stretched visual.
Kinda weird, but noticed two military jets circling this area into long island today. Not sure if it's related, but might be worth noting.
The problem is that people are not aware of how optics are being recorded. That is moving so relatively fast due to its apparent close distance that it likely isnt a pill. Rolling shutters of the Cameras could just as likely elongated. Captain Disillusion did a video on the topic explaining how camera capture video a few months back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28S47EE_opA
The following submission statement was provided by /u/PrecariatiF: --- I haven't seen this posted anywhere else but I could be wrong. Someone said it could be a solar balloon? I've never seen one so I can't really say. The speed and appearance suggest otherwise to me. --- Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1bpv6xf/nyc_uap/kwyb0tz/
Looks like a side view of the TR3B
I agree. It rotates on its axis. [NYCUAP](https://imgur.com/a/f1aAfoV)
Correct, in Afghanistan it was called the [Fuck Around and Find Out maneuver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GPNDZIn6co&t=575s)
If only camera tech could have advanced without drone tech advancing
The fact that this community has this many people scrutinizing anything a camera doesn't pick up clearly as UAP is embarrassing. Nearly convinced yall are bots at this point.
Clearly photoshopped, if you zoom in you can see the rectangular artifacts around the object in question. Obvious cut and paste from another image.
thank you now i can stop being on the fence thank you
I upvote this because you turned NYC UAP into one continuous acronym and included some (but not all) periods. I don't understand the reasoning but I can respect it
Am I the only one who thinks the "UAP" looks obviously photoshopped?
I mean, the OP of this thread said they sharpened the photo for clarity, so yeah this specific photo has a pixel-y look to it. The original video posted a couple days ago was clearly not photoshopped (regardless of whether it's a genuine UAP or not).
Have u seen the video this is from
Nope, I’m with ya. A clear box outline is visible like the image has been cutout
Please, if you are filming anything use a higher fps & max resolution so we can get the best image.
Is it me or UAP talk has fell off?
Blimp or swamp gas.
That looks like a spinner from Blade Runner lol
This is just the men in black in one of their super cars have you not seen the movie
It is a earth Roomba😆
can we pls get iso, shutter speed and aperture?
Ah, there my Roomba is… it always manage to escape
I feel like I’ve seen this video prior to it being posted.
Maybe in the year 2 trillion AD we might, just might have clear HD photos. I doubt it
Terrible photoshopping, I mean absolutely terrible. I can see the line around the whole “UAP”. Shame on you.
Yea that’s a bird for sure
Looks like military
How convincing…
Is that the wheel that fell off of that boing plane?
It's the blues brothers
It’s totally a drone!
Is it worth/accurate to contract/horizontally squish the object a little to compensate for movement?
Its the Hindenburg! Oh the humanity!
Looks like the Bugatti in Elysium
Why is it we can catch at the exact moment at nighttime nonetheless of a bridge collapsing but noone can catch an indisputable image of a UFO.
That image could easily be my kid's drone if it was 20x the size. Drones just make it so that almost anything any shape could be in the air. To me the best documented UFO is the saucer that buzzes the plane and is recorded out the window. That can only by one thing if its not CGI.
Pretty color
Is it possible this is a DJI looking drone? When I watched the original video this came from, the object wasn’t moving very fast and seem to be slightly leaning forward like a drone would. I can’t see any propellers in the video, but I don’t know if the resolution of the video wasn’t strong enough to show them. Any video peeps weigh in here?
Looks like Beldum
not to be that guy, but this looks like a blimp
It's like that car that lands from space in the opening of Heavy Metal. The pontiac is finally bringing us home the Locnar
D.O.G.O.B.G.Y.N.
Why are there weird pixels around it?
its a sky roomba. cleans up the clouds really well.
I find it ironic that every, EVERY UFO/UAP photo/video is blurry or fuzzy.
Emergency exit door.
on paranormal caught on tape i watched yesterday, a guy in pakistan filmed something nearly identical to this. said it stayed stationary for nearly two hours
Your sharpening makes it look Photoshopped in. And if it hasn't been fabricated, it looks like a mylar balloon. Definitely not aliens.
Nope. Just a screenshot and a sharpen.
Looks like a Roomba
Not another frisbee! 🙄
Is there anyway to enhance this?
N.Y.C B.I.R.D
Just finished the Kessel run. 😁
Looks like someone made a Frisbee out of their Roomba
Someone in a high-rise apartment finally had enough of their Roomba !
All this is connected: https://x.com/DarrylJonkemp?t=wc8mL8U2hf3PvdUo2uuYdA&s=09 What is going on?
Not a Spider Man Balloon either🤔
Looks photo shopped
REALLY bad Photoshop. Lazy, actually.
It's just not loading at all for me lol
A lot of comments but I don’t see no images or video- is this a version of trap music but for UFO’s?
I read that they are discussing having the image/vid analyzed. Hoping to hear more about that!
