The object could be circling the camera, the camera circling the object or a combination. We don't have enough data to tell.

Thanks Dave for all these invaluable info! My friend told me his wife saw the object “hovering”. Saucer shaped object. But unfortunately like you said, cant really decipher what the object on that photo is.

Agree. e.g. PR048 is listed as 2013-01-01, and in the metadata in the video file from DVIDS it says there is a XMP-photoshop:DateCreated field and the time is 05:00, with no timezone specified, which to me suggests it was simply stamped as being...

Comparing with the other dates of the release, 1 Jan seems to be a placeholder date when they only wanted to disclose the year. How many turbines were built by the end of 2024?

I guess it is worth noting, though, that they DID release some "patriotic" videos on the theme of "YAY WAR!" early in the conflict with Iran that incorporated footage from movies and games. The White House is using clips from popular video game...

I'm not so sure. I wonder if a lot of these clips were saved, but then never really looked at again. Of course, for more recent events, that's supposed to change with new reporting guidelines, AARO, etc.

Far be it from the Dept of war to release questionable low quality IR footage or for officials to be duped by game footage (it's happened several times). So questioning it seems reasonable. We don't know anything about the source plus there's no...

Without a geolocation how do we know this isn't modified video game footage? Source: https://youtu.be/8_Yxwn161uk?si=GXGYfe1sXeVwvm7f Also, slightly OT but I like that someone has made a whole "horror" game based on wind farm maintenance...

I don't think it is. Most videos from the release are dated 01 Jan. I think it's the default day used when they only want to disclose the year.

A rough fit for the object suggests it's a small windblown thing. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/PR39%20Farsi%20Island/20260512_101130.js

This is not a great video... https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006089/dow-uap-pr39-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2020 ... however I think it is Farsi Island: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsi_Island Google Maps 27°59'35.0"N 50°10'21.0"E

I could see this being the case. One could be where the report was submitted to or where the unit that reported was based out of, and the other could be where the event actually took place. Would have to look into each to see if there's further...

People may find this Reddit post interesting Amateur FPV pilot here - the onscreen display (OSD) contains some useful information that many fpv pilots would immediately recognize. This is definitely a rotorcraft (likely quadcopter) running open...

While looking up information about birds and body heat and IR thermal cameras and stuff, I came across info that hummingbirds can regulate their body temperature by going into torpor. Apparently, they "run colder" when asleep, and can go even...

Thats similar, to what I meant. The target (point light source) when over a "lighter background" the pixel resolution doesnt know when to start/ stop, as opposed to dark background, that allows for more definition. Boundary is better defined...
