worms rotate on fishing hooks sometimes depending on how you move the pole. i assume it has to do with where the weight is off balance.First, why would an object on a string rotate?
@Giddierone posted elsewhere about a company/organization called Aerocene. I think one of their balloons is worth posting here in case interest in this case picks up again. While obviously not the object in question, it is at least a good example of balloons made with opaque and transparent sections.

If the video is footage of a real, physical object, then we need some way to explain why it jitters around the frame when the video is stabilized on the clouds.
Also with an object dangling on a string from a long "fishing pole."Not a problem, because it simply moves toward the lower left corner of the frame. Consistent with a balloon moving in air currents.

Saw this on the reddit sub UFOs today.
It's the top voted UFO video of the month already after just 21 hours, and it is on its way to be the top voted post of all time there.
The comments show it has appeared before , once claiming it occured in Denver USA and one prior (original ?) claiming it occurred in Spain
Here is the reddit post and pertinent comment, also the oldest vid of it claiming it was in spain:
What do people think it is Balloon, CGI, something dangling on a string ?

The fact that it took so much stabilizing suggests to me that it's hard to focus on, so perhaps it's something much smaller, maybe twisting on a line of spider silk. Here's a photo of a butterfly cocoon. It's not uncommon for them to be translucent and shiny.I don't think it is a balloon. I'm more inclined to think it is some sort of plastic or lightweight mechanical capping for some device....( it looks as though if you rotate it by 90 degrees it goes on top of something ) being carried by a helicopter. We simply don't see the helicopter because the video zooms out so quickly at the end.

If you think it's a physical object and not CGI, you need to explain how a physical object can skate around the frame when the camera zooms out.
Let's assume it was not digital zoom, where the algorithm might screw up everything (no examples sadly), optically (moving lenses etc) I cannot explain that happening indeed. There is no element in a zoom process that makes the middle of a frame move as such. I was/am also on the CGI camp
Is it not possible that the zoom out coincides with the object moving? Whatever it is, if it is free to move, like a balloon or a space ship, or able to BE moved by the videographer or accomplice, like a small ornament suspended from a fishing pole, it would not be constraiend from moving just because a zoom is going on.If you think it's a physical object and not CGI, you need to explain how a physical object can skate around the frame when the camera zooms out.
Maybe he ran out of memory..why does the guy stop videoing while the object is still there ? It is to me the biggest clue that the person taking the video already knows what the object is.
It seems to be just your classic mylar balloon at sunset. These produce impressive UFOs, with fiery flashes (Sun reflections) due to the low-ish ambient light. The last frame proves it was sunset, or sunrise. I don't know why anyone would CGI such a thing.Sorry for resurrecting a zombie thread, but did this forum ever come to a consensus on this? From looking at this last page, it seems like CGI was top of the list for most people.
Wow, I have no memory of any of that The 2008 video has altered my way of thinkin' on this. Hard to ignore the similarity there...Let's remember @Max Phalange made a pretty good argument for this being CGI starting in post #161.
@deirdre found that the shape may be related to the Bruja de Monterray from 206 in post #167.
A Mexico City based CGI creator Ledrack, that is associated with Jaime Mausson, imagined the Bruja (witch) as an alien in a pod in 2008 and continued to use the shape in various other content he created. Post # 184.
Ledrack was also posting CGI videos as far back as 2008 that demonstrated the zoom in and out and changing focus. Post #198
Ledrack continued to create or use versions of his alien pod in "recreations" for Mausson's TV show through 2022.
There is nothing directly linking Ledrack to this specific video, though he was creating an alien sitting in a similar shaped pod back in 2008.
Just throwing it out there.
