Saw this in the new Showtime UFO show (a mixed bag) but thought this video was worth taking a closer look at. No idea what it could be, it looks a bit uncanny so maybe CGI. Can't seem to find anything else out about it online save that https://twitter.com/ufoofinterest thinks it's an LED kite.



This is his comparison and I think the shape is spot on but the lighting effects don't match at all. What is strange is that the kite shape is evident at the beginning and is then eclipsed by the rotating plasma/fireball before the kite shape emerges again. My hypothesis would be that the fireball is some sort of aftereffects template applied onto footage of a kite. Maybe there are LEDS on the kite to aid with placing the template but otherwise I don't see any reason to think that it is an LED kite.

It would just seem to be an LED kite with a different flashing pattern. the “fireball” is just overexposure of the lights.

If you look at the video at the following link you’ll see a variety of flashing patterns of LED kites:

Dabg, y'all beat me to it. It is indeed a delta kite with a battery, leds and a computer chip to make it flash in interesting patterns. As these are commercially available, expect to see them more and more.

Wow scanning down the comments of the youtube video, Surely some of the commentators are just taking the piss, like I believe a lot of the flat earthers, q-anoners etc and are in it just for the LOLs. Only one person mentions kite and then seems to dismiss that theory
What do the commentators think what purpose do the aliens are achieving with the spinning lights? A mating ritual perhaps?
Does nasa etc typically festoon their craft like a carnival show?
I haven't looked it up, but I doubt any space agency puts lights on their ships esp ones going to the moon or mars or beyond, why would they?

Here's a quite long video showing a wide variety of different LED kites from the (now defunct) Electric Kite Company

Such kites are still made by several Chinese manufacturers -- for some reason almost universally adhering to the red/white/blue pattern for the delta kite. So expect them to continue to crop up into the foreseeable future, from time to time.

(One of mine in flight is to the left here, to be contrasted with the more elaborate and less ufo-report-likely more modern (and bigger) night kites being made as well these days...)

O ye of litle faith! That's not just gonna be a UFO report, that's begging for an astrozoological claim too!

Another zombie UFO case: it keeps stumbling around causing occasional excitement long after it should have had a decent burial. It has just been revived in a report in the online version of the UK tabloid the Daily Mirror. The report (link following) says that the video has just been 'shared' on a Miami TV channel, and states

Former US Intelligence Officer, Colonel Octavio Pérez appeared on the show to add his thoughts to the clip. He said the aircraft possibly uses an anti-gravitational system, suggesting it could be extraterrestrial or a spy plane adapted from alien technology.

'Colonel' is a pretty senior rank, and one would like to think that 'Colonel' Perez is an imposter! Readers who know their way around US military records may be able to check him out.

This kite (at 0.23) (blink, and you will miss it) seems to be an (almost) exact match.
Note the blue stripes on each wing.

If this was in Cuba, there are probably a whole lotta kites that look like that, as it mimics the Cuban flag:

That seems to be a coincidence. These kites, made in Singapore for a bit and by several different companies in China, almost always copy the red white and blue pattern. Rarely you see a black one. I've got three of them, different sizes, all copying the same r/w/b in the same pattern.

If I have to stand corrected about a kite, at least it's by our resident kite expert . I guess red, white and blue is a good generic combination.

The worst aspect is that its precisely the sort of 'UFO footage' that gets displayed in the background when they interview Senator Marco Rubio, Leslie Kean, and others. Every single one of the UFOs displayed in such interviews has been debunked....yet they persist in showing them. All very annoying, but then I suppose if they had to have a background of non-debunked UFOS.....there wouldn't be any !
