Hey 'bunkers
I keep stumbling across witness testimonies describing this perceived flight characteristic.
As a matter of fact, you can find multiple similar reports from all over the world and over a timespan of decades.
Which makes me wonder:
Assuming most witnesses are not liars but did actually perceive something hovering before it shoot up, what phenomena could cause such an illusion?
Random thoughts on this matter:
- Hovering could be attributed to objects such as balloons OR something flying against the wind, seemingly standing still relative to the observer OR something flying away or towards the LOS of the observer OR perceiving an actually stationary, fixed object as something airborne (tethered or on a structure)
- "Shooting up", "Disappearing in an instant", "Unbelievable speed" are all pretty relative descriptions and create a visual of something like the USS enterprise activating its warp drive.
Question:
Considering these 3 prerequisites:
1) Witness is not lying
2) Witness must have seen it with their own eyes, no hearsay and NO VIDEO
3) Object needs to "shoot UP", not "off" at a perceived rate of speed that could be consensually described as "reasonably fast"

"What circumstances could create these phenomena?"
