PR-48 INDOPACO, 2024 (Wind Farm + Dot Changing Apparent Direction)

I've realigned the camera with the bigger windmills and it's actually much better now. But I still only use the bit where the drone is stable.

I've found a sweet spot where the white dot can stand perfectly still, and still follow the crazy fast interdimensional spaceship in the video :D
....it can be anything and everywhere. If it's closer to the camera it just has to fly a bit in one direction to match, if it's closer to the turbines it has to fly/drift the other way. It can fly a bit up, towards the camera and to the side, we will never know.

I will try to make a video, maybe tomorrow, I'm tired of this now :D

Nice video. What would the altitude of the drone have to be? The curvature of the earth from that distance is about 1.3 km, but we are looking down at the wind farm at an acute angle in that view so the camera is a lot higher. If indeed the object is a bird, different birds generally travel at different altitudes, so that might help determine its identity and its distance from the camera, which gives its speed.

Thanks. 6.5 km

I don't have the curvature in the equation, so it could have been a bit higher

Small angles (which are wonderfully convenient in this particular case) says:
- It's about 1 degree away (40000 km / 360=111 km), so it would need to rise another 1 degree to get the same vista.
- At 114 km, 1 degree is 2km.

7.78 km If I place it all on a 12756 km ball :)
I don't think it will change the turbine arrangement much.

The DoW seems to have released another video of the object

DOW-UAP-PR058, "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP"
The string is intermittently visible visible below the balloon from around 3:15 through 5:46.

It get's lost in the noise some of the time, but always reappears in the same spot, directly below the balloon, extending about the same length. It never show up above the balloon, or off to the sides, as diffraction spikes or something might be expected to do. It is more visible in the moving image than in a still, this still captures it, though.

What kind of string would be visible at this distance? Do we have examples of IR footage showing dangling lines from balloons?

One possibility would be a relatively wide ribbon.

Which would also account for how it is more visible at some times than others, if the balloon is rotating ans so the ribbon is sometimes seen more edge-on.

It is undeniably there, whatever it is. If there is an alternative explanation that William of Occam would accept, I can't think of it. But we can crowd source brainstorm that here pretty effectively, based on past experience! ^_^
 
I wanna know who thought this would be useful. This feels like they're just emphasizing a video that was popular in release 1.
