UFO Tallahassee (Updated)

manastin> What particular section of the video are you referring to?

I agree and I have flagged it to keep an update. Do you know when Tally is due to get the raw footage out?

Agreed. This footage should be kept on front page.

It is quite incredible, and once again, the good evidence dies under the sheer mass of fantasy and speculation on the front page. Keep the solid stuff on top people!

(Shameless and intended bump)

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing it with us...Welcome to ATS

Around 22.52/22.58, when the cameraman says "it is figuring 8". The movement of camera and object corresponds very well. But I dont want to claim something. I believe this video is genuine, but I cant keep myself away from paranoia.

Great video thank you for posting; it is very interesting. Is it not strange it seems to bug out when you hear a helicopter?

The rational side of me want to say this some sort of unknown natural phenomenon, but there seems to be some kind of intelligence behind it. I do not know very strange. It almost defies physics like flying mercury, how is anything living manning this thing if there is anything alive in it. Yeah yeah I know questions everyone has...

Yeah that's what I thought you were referring to, as I kinda reacted over there as well. However, keep in mind that he's filming this thing for 20 odd minutes, if the camera follows the object for 2-3 seconds, or 0.16% of the video, you can assume it's just a fluke. Also consider that the only point of reference, the pine tree twig, could be moving (I wasn't really able to make this out though).

Playing Devils advocate here
First I have to say I don’t think tallyufo is trying to pull a hoax
And I wasn’t there to get a real feel for what I’m looking at and sorry I couldn’t see it move at a high speed but having said that My impression when watching this video is it looks like a kite really high up in the sky with lights (have you ever seen one?).
See link here www.windpowersports.com...
Link with video www.wfkite.net...
Someone mention a Florida State vs Miami game at Tallahassee, was this video taken near the stadium? I could understand someone flying a kite with lights really high up in the sky for that, I’m sure the sun was illuminating it at first, in any case if it is a kite it looks high enough that whoever was flying it might have freak out when a helicopter started coming his way (getting caught in the string) and started to reeled it in, I did some checking and that Florida State vs Miami game started at 8:00pm (time to bring the kite down and watch the game?)
It’s just the way that it moves in the end, the “figure eight’s” just like a kite would do if you started reeling it in quick or pulling or running with the string, also could have been the wind picking up, notice the pine needles being blown around more when it starts the crazy 8’s and loops
I’m not saying I’m sure it’s a kite, but if it turned out there was an easy explanation, it wouldn’t surprise me that it was

got a double post here sorry, was trying to get my hyperlinks working and oh yea by the way been a long time fan of this site , my first post ,tallyufo hope you don't take any offense to this ,I'm just kicking around some stuff. I know that you were the one who saw this and how frustrating this could be to you

Hey Manastin, I actually noticed that myself, and thought I was just imagining it.

Again, I would have to watch it again to confirm. My thought was that maybe the object was stationary, but the pine tree branches were moving, thereby giving the appearance that the UFO was moving relative to it.

First I'd like to add my thanks for getting this video out. It's videos like these that draw constructive analysis and thought.

Now I don't know what this is, but during some of the close up footage the object does remarkably resemble a kite - a stunt kite viewed from behind to be precise. Given the vantage point of the camera vs. the object I'm not sure how a kite would have looked from the ground, but here are some pics just for reference. The second one is a 'Laser Kite' fixed with many red lights.







I didn't have time to get a screen capture of the video for comparison. Again I'm still very undecided as to what this is I'd just like to point out the similarities.

Wow, did you even go through the footage? That 'kite' looking object then 'engulfs' the object. Try fast forwarding a little.

I've poured over this footage more than any other video I've seen. I'm merely pointing out the similarities, especially the double-arch that appears on the bottom of the object. The red light(s) prompted me to post as well. I agree it does seem to 'morph' a bit. If we are to examine this thouroughly then all ideas are welcomed, right?

My question to the filmer is this - when you were talking about seeing the bottom fall out, or dropping, were you able to see this by viewing the object directly, or were you referring to what was going on through the view-screen on the camera? I'm wondering what this looked like from a distance.

Again, thanks for getting this out there.

The object in question really doesn't resemble a kite. It seems to be saucer shaped, and at that altitude, a kite really would be a singular dot. This object has a 3-d shape, and is circular as the images will testify too.
These images are from around 10mins 25 secs...




The following image shows the 3-d nature of this circular object that is being filmed as it 'turns' on its side to show the bottom.
Images time stamped for reference.










I messed around in photoshop with the Gamma corrections and exposure values to make it more easy to distinguish the object.
I would like to see some clips of the hi res footage - because the pixelization is pretty bad - in some instances its almost if some strange 'field' is around the craft - but that might be pixelization artifacts....

From your pics it almost looks as if the object is seriously malforming the atmosphere around it and the camera is really trying hard to resolve the malformation and failing to do so. It has no choice but to blend the distortions around the craft as part of the craft....The reddish center would be the "solid" object IMO. The greying around it a result of its resting in our atmosphere doing something perverse to it.

Speculation I know but it sounded cool in my head....

Hate to say it but it's not so much what it looks like ,having a camera my self and talking picture of aircraft flying out of robins AFB ,I can tell you most them look like Ufo’s when they were plane's, It's the way it is acting ,be it a kite, balloon or what ever else you could tie to a string a fly ,but it looks like it is tethered, That Chile footage is definitely a kite, again not because how the object looks (can't see it) But you know it's on a string

[edit on 28-3-2007 by moonking]

it's all how you draw it

From all I can tell there is some kinda 'field' around this thing, as no amount of 3D thinking will apply to what happens between 15:05 and 15:20. Something 'elgulfs' the UFO, as to what, why and how, I can only guess. So please, be mature don't spam this thread up with the 'it looks like a kite' theory, it's well past that.

I am sorry to say, but it isn't how you draw it. Your forgot to include much of the solidity of the object when focusing on your kite theory. Sorry to say, but your post only proves you don't know how to trace that well

Drexon, don't you think the object could be listing to the side like lets say it's tilting to show the underside (where the light is?)? I agree with the analysis that there is some weird field around it - I am examining a few other images that I captured from the vid... trying to see if I can get more out of this 'field'.
