Flying Fingernail Appears Again This Time in France

Just wanted to get this up here before I forget. The "flashing" appears at first to be camera jiggle, but frame grabs show a "fingernail" shape spinning on an inside axis just like we have previously seen. Wherever that thread is.

Anyway, it's unusual to get three videos of essentially the same odd thing.

Those damn UFO's... Never a clear one. Weird though.

Bug on lens.

C’est tres bizarre!

thank you - i am utterly indebted to you

if you were not hear to tell me what it is and what its doing - i would be utterly clueless

Who/whatever is flying that has got to be pretty dizzy...

Stars in the back ground indicating a steady camera unless
I'm mistaken. Do they have fire fly's in France Blue? If not
then it's absolutely some kind of light moving around in the
sky. Can't understand why it would only move around within
camera frame. But then why would anyone set out to make
such a weak hoax? Therefore how does one file this anywhere
accept for no conclusion. But that at least makes it a worthy
post in my mind so..

A UFO or a Raver on E with a glow stick?
Both seam plausable

To me, that "fingernail shape spinning on an inside axis" looks more like a light moving too fast to be captured by the camera, resulting in line across the screen.

It does look like something we would see if there was a cellphone suspended from a string, vibrating.

Stars? I only see a few faint fixed points of light, not blinking. A star would blink.

Oh I forgot I see stars just sit'n on the crapper. lol

No but really? I'm not work'n with best equipment I might
have misinterpreted what I saw as very faint. So yeah firefly?

Try downloading and looking at it frame by frame. The angle of the shot makes it so we're essentially seeing it from the side, but the individual frames show an illuminated curved object that is spinning and making surprisingly rapid changes in direction. Here's a quick screen grab:

You're not going to get multiple frames with this same curve from jiggles so bumps.

It looks basically identical to the other videos linked to in the previous thread, including the segmentations. This us from the other video:


My skeptical side is saying that having multiple videos of the same thing would suggest that it's a toy or drone. But I'm also impressed by the movement, which I've never seen in any drone video.

I don't know what it is. I wasn't there. Could it be a hoax? Always, but it would be an interesting one.

I just checked this case out on the CMS.
There is no investigator assigned to this case yet.
No notes and very little information provided by the witness.

My personal opinion,
I believe this is a video of the star procyon.
Look in Stellarium, goto nantes, France, to the west.

The shaking can be attributed to a distant object being zoomed in on with a cell phone.

Here is a similar video.... No tripod, distant object = shaking.

Do not mind the explanation in the video, I just came across it on YouTube while looking for an example.
But it looks like it belongs to a flat earther.



ETA: I am viewing the video via my Ipad.
Some comments indicated various points of light.
I can't see any of these.
It just looks like a shakey star on this thing.

That's what I did, as there were no "frame grabs" available.

The angle of the shot makes it so we're essentially seeing it from the side, but the individual frames show an illuminated curved object that is spinning and making surprisingly rapid changes in direction.

We don't know the angle of the shot, we don't know if we are seeing it from the side, the front, the top or the bottom.

Any light moving on a dark background in a video will appear as a streak if the exposure time is too long for the light's movement. In those cases, there's usually one side that looks slightly darker than the other, the side that had less light entering the camera during the exposure time, due to the movement of the point of light. You can see that in the screen grab below.

Depends on the jiggles or bumps.

Anyone who knows the "Carry On" films feels obliged to ask- Is it a black fingernail?

It's really hard to figure out if the thing is moving or just the camera is moving, but if all of the motion is caused by the camera, then the object is possibly Venus.

Venus is in a crescent phase as seen from Earth right now, and bright because it is close. It is close enough that I think a video camera's zoom might be enough to see the crescent shape.

Here's an example. Potentially like the video in the OP, this guy took a while to focus in on the crescent Venus, but he did so at around the :40 mark:

I doubt a cellphone camera can have an optical zoom that big.

a reply to: Soylent Green Is People

My first thought was Venus also.
But it wasn't visible at the time of the video...

However, I was using the witnesses supplied time of events.
I should download the video to see the actual time stamp.
More than half the time when a witness supplies a video or image to us, their supplied time of the sighting is quite off from the time stamp in the files.

I made a small test: I picked up my camera, went on the balcony and filmed Venus, while shaking the camera.

How small does the Moon look from a non-zoomed mobile phone?
