Jellyfish UFO from TMZ's 'UFO Revolution'

The jellyfish is back!

Clearly more bird poop on the lens.

The jellyfish is back!

Is this different video of the same event? If so, I'd go more ghost now than alien.

Good question.

The wind direction seems to match.

To my eye, the object in this video LOOKS less elaborate than the original, less complex. IF the same object/incident, it suggests that the structure of what appears to be a balloon is less ornate than it appears in the IR image -- might some swaths of material or areas of pigment on a balloon hold heat differently (or reflect IR differently) and appear streaky/tentacley in IR? I didn't see any hint of that in the test footage shot with my son's IR drone, but perhaps our balloons didn't have the same pigments, or had not been through the appropriate conditions during a flight over the desert!

The shape of the thing doesn't seem to match at all, unless it's taken at an entirely different time before some degradation/deflation has occurred. However, as common as bunches of balloons are, I'd think it more likely that it's a completely different one.

Could be -- even if it were to turn out to be more or less at the same time, it is not unlikely that where one balloon/bunch was released or got away, others did as well. "The party is over, let's cut these loose and watch them fly away!"

it still looks like a bunch of balloons
as if the bundle escaped a balloon seller at the fair

I suspect that similar "strange objects" can be seen over any fairgrounds almost every day.

Seems unlikely. Saladin is 30 miles north of the airbase where the Jellyfish was (now labeled Al Taqaddum Airport). The original jellyfish was drifting to the West. Not impossible. But I also don't think it looks the same.

So, it's the Invasion of the Jellyfish Aliens! I'll be on the lookout.

I found this interesting:

Shafaq News/ Iraq's Nineveh and Saladin provinces announced Thursday a public holiday in celebration of Newroz.

Nineveh Governor Abdul Qadir Al-Dakhil ordered the suspension of work across all government departments and institutions for the day.

Similarly, Saladin declared a holiday for one of its districts to mark the occasion. Essential services and security departments, however, will continue operations.

Newroz, marking the first day of the Kurdish new year, falls on March 9 in the Greek calendar and March 21 in the Western calendar. It is celebrated as a national and cultural holiday, symbolizing renewal and unity, with traditions dating back thousands of years.

 

[RAS]

This coincidence may have no bearing on the jellyfish video, but just providing a potential reason why there may be more balloon activity during this time.

This one is older and from Afghanistan but you get the gist (same celebration lots of balloons):

Afghan revellers gather in front of the Hazrat-e-Ali shrine in Mazari-i-Sharif for Newroz festivities

Now they are apparently invading Moscow!!!

This one appears to be deliberately mimicking a human being, something like the 'jetpack man' (balloons?) that appeared a few years ago.

L.A.'s Mystery 'Jetpack' Allegedly Captured on Video, But We Still Have Questions
A pilot in Southern California has captured video of what appears to be a person flying a jetpack, the first visual evidence of an unexplained flying object that seems similar to a reported jetpack sighting near the Los Angeles airport in August. But we still have a lot of questions about what we're seeing in the video and local authorities haven't shared any answers.
The video, captured by a pilot for Sling Pilot Academy and uploaded to YouTube, is from December 21 and was captured at an altitude of roughly 3,000 feet near Palos Verdes, California. The island in the background is Catalina Island, according to Sling Pilot Academy.
An American Airlines pilot first reported a jetpack sighting near LAX in August but all we had was a transcript of the pilot's conversation with air traffic control. This new video provides a look at what may have been the same type of aircraft, or could be something else entirely. We simply don't know enough at this point and the video, as you can see below, is somewhat blurry.

Maybe, but I suspect pareidolia has a hand in that -- it's a pretty "ambiguous signal" crying out to be seen as something. My first thought was this guy:

At 0:40 in the video an alien drone orb goes flying in front of the larger scout ship (or it's a bird/bug and a partially deflated balloon/bag, but aliens sounds way cooler).

Possibly a helium-based life-form.
