To answer my first question. There is no parachute, it's clearly lens flare. Embarrassing you guys came to that conclusion. If you observe the video closely you will notice the distance between the claimed parachute and the central object...
Varginha is a typical case in which ufologists connect dots between events that are unrelated until proven otherwise; are biased toward the extraordinary claim, and tend to believe any account they come across that might corroborate their bias...
Answering the question of is the object moving is more difficult. Now that we know the "smoke trail" is not smoke but a image artifact that makes it possible the object is static. It could be the sun, and the perceived movement is just the...
To answer my third question, it's clearly persistence of vision and not a smoke trail. The winds at that height would have blown the trail if it was smoke. But it maintains perfect stability through the video.
this is the first release...

There is a collection of numerous images, pdfs and videos.
Edit- my initial review of the videos shows that they are more of the same - thermal videos from Reaper type UAS that show small...
Do we think the mushroom thing at [1:02] between the turbines is an some kind of platform? Like this:
It makes you realise the scale.
I think the white dot is nowhere near the turbines.
Ah, I think it's like this thing. EDIT: an offshore substation

This is the first tranche of videos and documents released by the DoW (formally DoD). there are a lot of old documents, some fairly new pilot reports, and some new videos.
I'll update this top post with links to files...

So we got a new update from Sean Kirkpatrick on this event. Just adding this for the record.

"And we all saw the result of what happens when you turn those filters off. When we turned those filters off after the Chinese...
Alas, if you can't debunk it, no matter how strange, according to experts at Metabunk, it must be set on the shelf. No matching with any past accounts or witness testimonies to ascertain whether or not such an object might have been seen before...

This is the most interesting video.
A few questions,
1. Is the area of contrast many are calling a parachute a physical object or simply lens flare?
2. If this is a far IR camera why is such a far off object overwhelming the sensor and...
