I saw a video the other day about a launch system for Ukrainian drones that uses a somewhat large balloon to get the drones to altitude to save battery and extend flight distance. The balloons have a rather thick tether. Perhaps it could be...

It seems only one of the four balloons was ever officially identified as Chinese. However, there was speculation about a pico balloon shot down by an F-22 over Canada the previous day, on 11th Feb 2023: 17 Feb 2023 Did USAF Shoot Down a Hobbyist...

There is a 2nd release out. Not sure if there is already a thread on that one.

After seeing the bad redactions in PR071 that @john.phil posted about, I checked the other videos. THis is something you can do in the Sitrec video viewer by setting video/Video Adjustments/Levels Midpoint to 5...

@Nilbog This is the silliest thing I hope to see all day. Your neck changes every time you speak or move or smile. That's just what he looks like.

note the wide collar on these masks

One possibility would be a relatively wide ribbon. Which would also account for how it is more visible at some times than others, if the balloon is rotating ans so the ribbon is sometimes seen more edge-on. It is undeniably there, whatever it...

The string is intermittently visible visible below the balloon from around 3:15 through 5:46. It get's lost in the noise some of the time, but always reappears in the same spot, directly below the balloon, extending about the same length. It...

Still a bit of a work in progress, but coming along very nicely. Enable 3D buildings (Terrain), then under the Lighting menu, click "Shadows". This will give you shadows in the look view that are very accurate for the precise date and time. You...

The description claims the first few minutes have no content, but it's a great demonstration of diffraction spikes from what are clearly boats. Couldn't ask for a better visual debunking.

Similar looking diffraction patterns in release 02 PR091 1min52 https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007716/dow-uap-pr091-21-aug-callsign-observes-uap-persian-gulf PR097 2min28...

As part of the second tranche of records released by the DoW, video PR-071 shows a UAP being intercepted by an F-16 near Lake Huron. Because the video was not properly redacted, hidden information can still be read if the video is adjusted...

The system seems to be, in part, just picking up the diffraction pattern. If a mask with the shape of the aperture is used, the resulting diffraction pattern matches what you have noticed quite well: What you perceive as a "diamond pattern...

I don't get this either. How many "unconventional explanations" can be credibly deemed to be "resolved" with a high degree of confidence? This is at odds with the preponderance of poor evidence, e.g. low resolution IR zoomed videos of fuzzy...

Forst thunderstorm of summer coming over Charlotte, NC. The camera seems to have smashed the dramatic contrast a bit, but I thought he sort-of crenelated look 9f the leading edges was interesting... Storm is coming from behind the photographer...
