The Chinese spy balloon was a bus sized threat to US national security hovering over the continental USA undetected for weeks. After that they went on a shooting frenzy against 15$ amateur weather balloons with million dollar war systems. That is what they are talking about. Plus the...

I don’t think it works like that. In black hot those cameras usually show: - full black: the hottest point in the scene - full white: the coldest point in the scene All other values of gray are in between values of IR radiation in the scene. As the camera pans quickly the scene shown to the...

Agree at first look. The video also seems rather delirious. "we have element 115, and it doesn't match the properties Lazar described at all" I always heard pro-lazar folks actually claim that it was a point in support of Lazar as the element was later synthesized. Do you have more info on the...

I see this has been going around for a while at least. This video seems to predate the paper but contain similar claims. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8mhirh The author of the paper seems to be: Riccardo Storti https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CtFxrToAAAAJ&hl=en From...

Thank you for the clarification. When I say Mylar I am just using the common terms so that we understand each other but I understand it isn't precisely mylar. From my understanding the IR signature would ne unchanged using the brand name or an analogous material. I think it is interesting that...

Not really sure if we are still talking about jellyfish here.... to get back on topic... I've found another interesting bit that shows the object is somewhat transparent in IR that might be useful. Around frames 471 the legs cover a hot object and can be precisely inspected. Regarding size...

Yeah I agree :D Looking at photos of big bunches of balloons my estimate was a bit high. Still this object is probably smaller than 1m tall and 30cm wide.

I gave you a clear gif with clear indications on the source. That is pretty exact evidence. You can clearly see the dark buildings move behind the object. If you dispute it go ahead and make your case. But don't act like I haven't given you any evidence. It gives the impression that you are...

What material are those balloons made of? they seem more "plasticky" than foil/maylar and a smaller size. Maybe those are transparent? A couple of exploded/deflated ones would explain the "legs" of the jellyfish. (EDIT: size is still a problem unless it's just 1 balloon)

Not sure what more I can do to show you other than what I already did... maybe try it yourself on sitrec (frame 380ish). You can clearly see objects move through it https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?sitch=video&video=Jellyfish

You can use sitrec to go from frame to frame. Frames 374 to 389 give you a nice little X-ray of the object. I'd say it's partially translucent. Definitely not 100% solid like a mylar/foil balloon.

In addition to those issues... has the temperature shift aspect being explored? We see temperature differential usually with those cameras. And I assume we are in black hot mode given people and dogs look dark. Full back is the top temperature in the scene, white the minimum temperature in the...

Also the size issue is substantial. I don't see this realistically being a rubber ballon... this object is likely very small

That's not the point. The balloons you are sharing are rubber balloons sprayed with metallic paint. The spray paint may make them less transparent in IR possibly. But we know the thing in the video is somewhat transparent in IR. The point is: it's hard to make shapes with rubber. Usually rubber...

All I can think of to explain this is a small helium ballon with some sort of transparent cover over it or some damaged/exploded material covering it (maybe some light plastic like bags?)

How can you be further away than solid ground? :D

Apart from the small size (around 1m ish) I also notice that: - it definitely looks somewhat transparent in IR so this excludes mylar as a material (see frame around 380 or other moments in which it passes in from of dark spots). Mylar is not transparent in IR but reflective. - the shape seems...

Agree. Definitely much closer and therefore smaller than that truck. 1m wide bunch of balloons? Seems a bit small to me... not a great match in size. I would expect several meters for a bunch of ordinary party balloons at least.

If the hypothesis is that those are far away flares do we know for sure how long they stayed aloft? Timestamps from the first and last video? Can flares could burn for a very long time? The fact there was a nearby training is a clear indication this was probably it.

Just found this identical post from 2021... seems like the same mountain ridge and the same formation. Points to some kind of recurring event or training. [***Mod Update: This is the same event on 4/20/21] Source: https://twitter.com/TaskandPurpose/status/1435030398397030400?s=20
