Video "Incredible UFO Sightings - [NEW]" Oct 17, 2024. Seems mostly like airplanes and birds

most of these videos seem to be mostly planes similar to the B-21 Raider. On the V shaped formation segment, it seemed like birds. I suspect some of them might be spherical drones.

Any takes on these videos? Would really appreciate a more in depth analysis on these.

Too many, caused by too many different things, at least one of which has already been discussed here. I see a couple of balloons, a helicopter shining lights on a mesa, some that look obviously fake, lots of stuff -- mostly context-free -- but here we try to do one claim per thread. Maybe pick a case that interests you and do a thread about THAT case, with any details that you can find.

Are you familiar with the term "LIZ"? These are almost all in the LIZ, the Low Information Zone, which means there's not a lot to go on. Some may be birds, some may be camera artifacts, and some may be hoaxes, but I'm not sure any of those brief views will provide us with enough to make a definite determination.

Not really worth the time for the whole video, it's largely just click bait. Looking at the "UFO Man"s playlist, he seems to have been very active on YouTube ~7 years ago, took a bit of a break then in the last 7 months has posted ~104 UFO videos, many just collections like this one in the OP. Some Bob Lazar, Lue Elizondo and Whitley Strieber are thrown in here and there.

He also seems to be the disingenuous type of poster that post thumbnails like this for a video that is mostly 09:00 of an old guy talking with an occasional artist rendition of the "tall whites"

As there were no actual "tall whites" in the video and the artistic renditions aren't very realistic, UFO Man just slapped the fictional Engineers from the movie Prometheus onto the thumbnail.

Literally, 100s of repetitious videos of stuff in the LIZ. And a big merch page in case someone wants a UFO Man tee-shirt or wall tapestry.

Zero times anything is still zero.

I kind of like the South Africa 2003 one. It's a 50's nostalgic call back to the innocent days of a saucer model on a string.

The very first one is from 2011 and already explained by the STEREO team as a processed internal reflection in the optics:

Some people have noticed a strange triangular or diamond-shape "object" entering the field-of-view of the HI2 telescope on STEREO Behind around December 26, 2011. You can see the feature in question in this movie moving from right-to-left, just above the trapezoidal occulter on the right side of the image, and more clearly in this close-up movie. What is this?

The answer lies on the exact opposite side of the image. At the same time as this strange-looking feature starts being visible, the very bright planet Venus enters the HI2-B field-of-view from the lower left. Notice that Venus and the feature stay in step almost exactly opposite each other across the middle of the detector. This is not a coincidence. The strange looking geometrical "object" is actually an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics. This effect has been seen many times before. Here's a particularly striking example of internal reflections caused by the planet Earth as seen early in the STEREO mission, taken from our image artifacts pages.

Earth is also visible in the December 2011 movie, but is not as bright as Venus. It is the stationary object to the center left. As an added bonus, the tail of Comet Lovejoy can be seen entering from the left towards the end of the movie, just below Venus. Here is a diagram showing the location of the various features in the image.

The V-shaped formation was interesting, and it did remind me of how birds fly together.
