JMartJr replied to the thread PR038: The "Chandelier" UFO.Not arguing against the lens flare interpretation, but I'd expect that same sort of thing for some mass swinging pendulum-like under a small chute. Edit to add this link,which hopefully no longer goes to Wikipedia talking about The Andromeda... -
If we're talking about fun details on big vehicles that have been repurposed, then how about this one, based on a 1960's US ambulance chassis. The one and only, Il Tempo Gigante. It was made as a life size functional replica of the model... -
I noticed the rectangle shape too. This shape is used in parachutes that are the paraglider style. But the parachutes on flares are classic half dome. Another reason this is not a parachute. As for the counterarguments as to why my distance... -
The second shape is not parachute but a lens flare . The "parachute" / "chandelier" pair is rotating in sync around the red cross, which would be the optical axis I guess : Comparison of frames 313 and 3192 : The north indicator show that... -
The key point is this: none of those questions require alien craft or exotic technology to explain them. They are exactly the kinds of ambiguities you expect from low detail infrared footage of distant unresolved targets. People keep jumping...

It is rare to find a daytime shot of a parachute flare used for air force target practice. While it cannot be confirmed that the PR38 is definitely one, its erratic trajectory, the fleeting glimpse of a "parachute," and the long smoke trail...

Agree.
Not totally surprising, maybe. A person with access to the files and intent to leak UFO stuff would tend leak the best stuff first ("best" being relative) leaving a pool of cases from which the best stuff has already been removed to be available... -

The issue might be more to do with data transmission. Cameras like the MX-15 (as used in Aguadilla) and this MX-25 (a bigger version with better optics) are generally used by manned surveillance platforms and will have a HD video feed displayed... -

Do you have an example of IR footage online that meets your expectations? This is a link to the MX25, on par with the best airborne cameras available to any military. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImAYRHbWaC8 The footage at 1:20...

Useful.
https://www.war.gov/UFO/ 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... -
That line could also be lens flare diffraction or an aircraft's contrail ，Even just the wires and cables; considering the object is descending toward the ground, the shooting angle of PR38 appears to be an upward-looking shot -

The UFO contradiction is that the better quality images are recognisable and thus never end up in the UFO pile, it's a self selecting subset.
