I think flare is still probably the best guess. But it's not a perfect match (see video I posted of flares with military IR). Whatever it is it is VERY VERY hot/bright. Like the sun but smaller in size. And if the trail represents the movement of...
And if the 14:06:17 at the bottom is the time of recording within the video, and the 5 is elevation angle and 115 is the bearing, then the hot point cannot be the sun. It does look like a different UI element style though, so could be the time on...
It'd be useful to know what the background of the shot is. Is the 5 on the right hand side of the unredacted image the camera elevation angle above horizontal? Meaning the camera is essentially looking across the sky horizontally?

I'm not ready to take a position on whether or not it is a parachute, but I don't think this point is compelling. In turbulence or in other conditions where the parachute and flare-or-whatever are moving about relative to one another(the chute...
Enhanced footage of the sections where the parachute is most noticeable:
This is the section of the footage where the parachute is most obvious:
An example of a ground-launched, parachuting illuminating flare for comparison (from 01:41 to...

At timestamp 51s in the video a shape becomes visible in the upper left corner.
Later around 1m02s and 1m18s it is more...
I've spotted a couple of errors in the descriptions and related MISREPs (originally in the DOW release)
The correct Mission Report for PR-28 is:
DOW-UAP-D25, Mission Report, Greece, January 2024 - (MISREP) A U.S. military operator reported...
Fox has an article with some pics supposedly from the gov release.
A transcript of communications between Apollo 17 operators released in the disclosure Friday details the operators' exchange over the unknown phenomenon.
"Now we've got a few...
I agree the longer straight line looks like a possible contrail. Though could be something else. If the background is the cold sky I'd expect a contrail to be darker, not lighter than it, in black-hot. I also was thinking about the viewing angle...
The particles sound similar to the "fireflies" seen by astronaut John Glenn during Mercury-Atlas 6 in February 1962, and later identified as ice crystals by astronaut Scott Carpenter during Mercury-Atlas 7 in May 1962.

The film is not an impartial, unbiased investigation. Like many other UFO-related films, It takes it as axiomatic that something extraordinary happened. Claims are taken as evidence without consideration of more likely alternatives.
You will be...
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...
