We need OSINT specialists to identify the location of a UFO sighting filmed from a Tripoli-Kyiv flight in March 2007.

[Igor K.]

The objects can be seen in the following time intervals: 02:37-03:07 and 03:11-03:18
Over the Ionian Sea, the object was exactly on the cockpit monitor at 11:15. The distance to central Greece, including the mountains, is approximately 12 hours, when I was able to observe it. Some of the bodies of water in the video before the sighting, bordering the land, were two large lakes, which, like the Ionian Sea, did not produce glare. The original tape and video camera are available. In 2010, this video was featured in a documentary. The documentary also states that the pilots of the flight were interviewed by telephone and did not notice anything unusual. An object filmed by a video camera in March 2007 during the Tripoli-Kyiv flight.

Recorded on March 15, 2007, on a MiniDV ME DVM60 tape with a Panasonic NV-GS27.

After checking the camera, we saw that the first UFO appeared at 11:45 AM, and the second one a minute and a half later, at 11:46 AM.
We need to more accurately identify the area, looking for shallow water, large greenhouses, or other structures that could reflect light. We also need to test the hypothesis of a mirrored Mylar balloon in a hurricane wind, a weather balloon, etc.
The entire tape has been digitized, but it's 01:18 AM, 3.44 GB, and the relevant fragment is attached.
There is also a questionnaire filled out by an eyewitness - but unfortunately it is not in English. http://ufology-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2007.03.15.pdf

Also stabilized the frame and some Blender and ffmpeg filters, Siril for stacking

This immediately looked like another plane to me. Do you think it's on the ground? I don't see any indication of that.

It looks a lot like these diamond shapes apparently caused by the iris motor in the camera. Similar to this: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/calvine-photo-hoax-theories.12596/post-365766

It's not the motor its the iris blades

Looks like a plane in the sky, I am not sure how geo-locating it solves anything given how long ago it is there are no ADSB etc records.

Looks like at the time the plane was beginning descent presumably to Kiev

If we take into account the reflection hypothesis, it is difficult to say the exact location right away, if we focus on the airport and the river, and then on Bucharest, then the trajectory is this place, it was not there yet in the 2007 images, but it appeared in 2008. But, perhaps the 2007 images were taken in January-February, this is not indicated. In any case, solar panels can be added to the possible lakes and greenhouses. Here is another fragment

Regarding the airplane hypothesis, here is an example of an airplane out of focus
