By the way if you look at the comments of my cousin's youtube video as expected no one is taking it seriously.

Excellent post. I have seen similar type of UFOs videos. It almost looks alive.

I just want a GODAMN reply about the video I posted above. I've gone to numerous forums but the video my cousin filmed has ALWAYS BEEN IGNORE, RIDICULED, OR CLAIMED AS FAKE. I'm really pissed off because his video deserves some attention.

When I first saw this video it was plain to me that it was a kite/baloon of non rubber material with the two ends on strings. It shows up very clearly in the pixelation and no expert needed. I read five then ten and skipped a few pages wondering why this kept going on. I have things I can not explain so I have an open mind but this just makes me laugh.

Just follow the pixelation down from the object and you can get a sense of what is going on.

Not long ago, I was traveling westbound on a metropolitan detroit surface road when I noticed what I thought was a hang glider off in the distance. As I approached, I noticed that the object seemed stationary which didn't make sense. Also, I noticed that the object seemed to be shifting shapes. I was so intrigued that I slowed my speed because I couldn't take my eyes off of it and i had to be careful driving as it was a construction zone. After about covering a mile I came upon a construction worker holding a temporary "STOP" sign on the road. I pulled up to him, stopped my car, and proceeded to ask what it was. At first, he said "it's a bird" but then I noticed that there was a hawk or other large bird flying nearby the object but lower in altitude and told him to look again. He looked again and saw the object and said "what the hell is that?" I replied that I have no idea and we just sat there watching the object twist and shift for about three minutes until two other construction workers who were nearby saw us and asked what we were looking at. We then proceeded to point to the object in the sky and they saw it too.

Still amazed and perplexed, I then continued a couple tenths of a mile down the road to the dry cleaner which is where I was headed. Once there, I looked up in the sky and saw the object again clearly. This was a clear day with abundant sunshine and unrestricted visibility. I then proceeded into the cleaners and told two young female employees what I had seen. Excitedly, they then followed me outside to view the object but it was gone. It had simply vanished in less than 60 seconds. The hawk was still there but the object was gone.

As I pulled out of the cleaners, I saw a marked patrol car of the local police department sitting on the side of the road. I pulled over and approached the vehicle and started the conversation by saying "listen, I know this is going to sound strange but I'm not drunk and I have a federal security clearance." I then told him what I had seen and asked if he had any strange reports from dispatch. He said no. I told him that if he does, that I saw it and that I would give a statement if anybody was interested.

I am ninety-nine percent certain that the object in this video is exactly what I witnessed that day.

That is a balloon, and it cannot be anything else because of the behavior, and may I remind you I live about the same position as the person taping this "object" and we are in Los Angeles, within miles of airforce and other military, and in a city with 20 news stations. If this was anything other than a regular baloon or kite, it would have been:

1) Taped by every single news station in town, and surrounded by 20 news helicopters.

2) Shot down or at the very LEAST patrolled by military aircraft.


You don't enter Los Angeles airspace without the Los Angeles Center seeing you on radar, and that is NOT an aircraft or UFO.

We have 12 million people here. NO WAY this was the only person who saw it and I'll bet you if it looked like anything other than a kite or balloon it was reported hundreds of times.

I would argue the contrary, in a friendly way, of course.

Reporting of sightings or even close encounters are unlikely to make TV news to even begin thinking about sending a camera team out of the building to look up. Advertisers, don't you know. They don't like it.

It's just the way TV news operates. They don't scramble on reports of UFO's, period.

I saw a giant fireball once, while sitting in peak hour evening traffic. It was a perfect very slow moving sphere that lit up the entire night sky for several seconds and must've been seen by many thousands of people sitting in their cars facing the same way in the same traffic jam. If it was a meteor then there would've been one almighty explosion. It disappeared behind some hills in to the ocean, silently.

Do you think there was even one mention of it in the news? On the local radio? In the local newspaper?

It can come as something of a shock when you have an experience/sighting and you report it or describe it, and you're looked at like you're Charles Fort in a hospital ward.

This is amazing! I have seen a similar thing to this but it was seethrough and as long as an index finger. It was moving quite fast due to the wind and was about head height! Me and my mate went to chase it but it disapeared down the road

But yeah this is interesting!

I would say Nephratari is correct on this one. I have seen these before, they always look the same and are most commonly thought to be ufos. Don't get me wrong I am a believer, but this I am fairly certain is nothing more than the new solar balloons scientists have been using.
